Hi
Many thanks Maddy the references to other searches was interesting.
We have looked up the list but her name was not there. We gained the impression that she had only recently died and thought that maybe a lawyer might have instructed the company to locate relatives.
They seem to charge 30 % plus VAT for their services so we want to be sure. The charging regime appears large if it was to be a reasonable sized estate but very small if it was to be a smaller one. Is this flat fee structure the norm in the UK.
The good thing is they are not asking for fees up front or bank detail which would have scam written all over it.
Just seeking advice because its quite different from the way things are done "down under"
Kind regards,
Julia
