Uk Wills online has anyone ordered any?
« on: Monday 29 December 14 06:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone
I ordered two Wills back on the 15 Dec.  I got an email on  the 27 Dec saying my order has been delivered. I logged onto the site and in My Wills-2 items show and the details are what I ordered so I thought great.
However I can't work out how to download them Or do I have to wait for them to do something else. Their Help page says nothing about how to download.  ???
Help :)

Thanks Tracey

There seems to be a problem with it at the moment, as another thread details

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=708284.msg5515259#msg5515259

It's also happened to me again on the 26th

When it does work, you'll see a link saying "Download Grant" and "Download Will" which you click on to get pdf files

Kent: SPOONER, THOMAS, KILLICK, COLLINS

The links have appeared in my account today so you may want to check yours.

Strangely, the Will is in the same pdf as the Grant but it's all there

Yes that confused me to start with as hadn't realised there were two pages in the "Grant" pdf.  :-X  Kept clicking on the Will link and got an error. :-\

I'm in the same position - my wills were "delivered" on 24 December, but there's still no way to download them. :( :(

The "Feedback" link only takes me to the Google Chrome homepage, but I contacted the Gov.UK helpline by a roundabout method, and they said they have passed it on to the HM Courts & Tribunals service team. 

Glad to see it's not just me!

Thanks for the replies.
I'll give it till after new year break and hopefully my two come right if not I'll send them a feed back response.

I received an email on the 26 th Dec to say my wills were ready but I could not download  them, so I sent an email to the feedback link. On Monday morning I received a very apologetic message to say that there was an error at their end and to let them know which email address I had used to register with them. I sent this back and my wills were ready to download within half an hour. I was quite impressed by the service.

I only have a small gripe about this great new service...there are 67 pages of Smiths in 1873 and I'm after Robert  :-\
A Christian name search facility would be a great boon, maybe that's on the cards for a later date  :)

Never mind, just realised that doesn't work as a search. Good luck ladybird!
