Delighted at the level of sensitivity…
Delighted at the level of sensitivity and compassion with which our delicate case was handled, and ultimately, settled. The process was long but worthwhile and we are thrilled to have connected with family members who we never would have, without Finder's help.

Dear Tanja,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words. We are truly pleased to hear that our team was able to assist you during such an important time. It’s rewarding to know that you felt supported throughout the process, and we’re glad we could help you with your inheritance.
If there’s anything further we can assist you with in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
FROM BAD TO BETTER.
In October 2024,this Company acknowledged failures in my 2021 case,and in their apology gave a proactive plan from then on. This generally has been carried out with a degree of satisfaction.Now to the final stage: disbursement of funds by their Solicitors.
If politeness was the sole criterion,undoubtedly 5 stars,but other clear factors have been taken into account,which Finders are aware of.
My final review and possible recommendation upon
completion.

Ambiguous Contract, Useless Document and £168.75 Per Hour Hidden Charges
Finders International appeared to offer estate administration using 'independent SRA regulated solicitors' and contract was signed solely on this basis. Transpired later that this contract does NOT provide solicitor services but simply a 'research report' to prove the family relationship. This 'report' was entirely redundant, and effectively means paying 15% of family inheritance - potentially thousands of pounds - in return for nothing of any use.
Complaints were made, with Finders International stating their fee covered the research required for finding family members in the first place. Just to clarify: signing the contract meant handing over 15% of the inheritance for NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER.
Once the first contract had been signed, a second contract was then presented. This was for Probate & Estate Administration Ltd, the company 'recommended' by Finders International to administer the inheritance, incurring additional charges of £168.75/hour + VAT for estate administration. There is no mention of this company nor the additional charges in the original contract.
In addition, despite Finders International's guarantee of 'independent SRA regulated solicitors', Probate & Estate Administration Ltd do not appear on the SRA Solicitors Register - in fact, they do not appear to be solicitors at all. The SRA will be contacted for further clarification. No online reviews are available for the company.
Finders International's response to complaints about the second contract and additional fees was that the client is not obliged to sign with Probate & Estate Administration Ltd. This fails to address the fact that the contract was only signed on the understanding that these services would be included in their commission.
There is no room here to list all the breaches of Consumer Protection Regulations we experienced, resulting in the signing of a contract which relinquishes a significant portion of one's rightful inheritance in return for a 'genealogical report' which has not been needed at any stage of the probate process.
There is no government regulation or ombudsman for the 'probate genealogy' industry, but this does not relieve them of a legal obligation to follow CPRs. For this reason, a full report and all relevant documents/communications including the 2023 contract have now been forwarded to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

Thank you for your feedback, Fred. We regret to hear that the estate administration was slow, and that the funds were transferred to you without notice. Finders do not handle the estate administration or distribution of funds, but we will certainly pass this feedback on to the firm of solicitors involved in your case. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us again if you require any further assitance.

Dear Bridget, thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had a positive experience with us, and we're so glad we were able to support you and your family in a timely manner.
the waiting game
you could say it was great only because there was so little to do apart from wait.
that is the worse bit and you need to keep people updated as to progress more often.
also you need to keep your promise ( to send me a family tree).

Thank you for your feedback – it’s valuable in helping us improve. We understand that waiting can be difficult, and we’re working on keeping clients updated more frequently.

It was a great experience from start to finish. I can’t thank Finders International enough for the work involved in dealing with this case, as it truly was international.

Excellent Service!
I was contacted by Katelyn who has remained my point of contact through this matter and she has been nothing but helpful! She is always willing to give me a call with an update, talk through worries, and share any long lost family information she comes across. I can’t recommend this company enough and I’m looking forward to the case closing (though I will miss the chats about the family).

My family were contacted by finders…
My family were contacted by finders International nearly 2 years ago now, ref an unknown relative . Apart from myself calling them up every 3 months or so for an update to be told really that there is no update . Things don’t seem to have moved in 2 years. Myself or my sister have not had one update voluntarily off the company at all . I just get told that they are still waiting for family members abroad to respond and waiting for them to sign up . Communication is very poor. Surely part of the service is giving updates? . Not really sure how long this is going on for at all we were told in beginning 12 to 18 months . Reading the reviews here looks like most people have the same problems, and been waiting even longer . Next step ?

Dear Ms Price, Thank you for your message and for raising your concerns. We are sorry to hear that you feel our communication has not met your expectations, and we'd like to offer some clarity regarding the progress of your case.
We appreciate that this process has taken longer than initially anticipated. The complexity of the family tree, including international elements, has contributed to delays as we work through various legal and procedural requirements in different countries. Please rest assured that we are actively working on your case and making every effort to locate and confirm all heirs.
Our team has been providing updates, including one as recently as yesterday, and we understand you have been in contact with one of our researchers, who has shared the latest developments. While we understand that some updates may not always reflect significant changes, we remain committed to keeping you regularly informed.
An interim report has also been submitted to the solicitors, allowing them to begin work while we continue to finalise our research.
Going forward, we will ensure you receive regular updates, even if there are no major developments, so you remain informed of the current status of the case.
Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout what has been a particularly complex case. If you have any further questions or would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact your case manager directly who will be happy to assist.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve had a frustrating experience, and we’d like to address your concerns.
First, we apologise if there was any delay in our communication. We always strive to respond as promptly as possible, but the complexities of probate cases—especially when multiple parties and solicitors are involved—can sometimes cause timelines to extend beyond our control. We understand this can be frustrating, and we regret that it may not have been communicated clearly enough.
Regarding the percentage fee, please be assured that this figure was carefully calculated based on the extensive research required for your case and was determined in accordance with the instructions from the solicitors managing the estate. Our services were essential in locating the family members involved, as the solicitors had no prior way of contacting the next of kin. Without our assistance, it’s likely that your family may not have been aware of the inheritance matter at all.
We did make attempts to reach out to you and your family during the process, and we sincerely regret any confusion or perceived lack of communication. Our role is to verify all parties involved, which sometimes requires additional steps and waiting for responses from others.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these legal processes, and we will certainly take your feedback on board as we continue to improve our communication practices.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly if there’s anything more we can do to assist you with your case.
Best regards,

Finders International Probate Genealogists good experiience
We had communication for this company about a deceased relative we did not know about. The company kept us informed at every stage until a solicitor contacted us further down the line with more information. As a result after probate having been sorted out, we then had a nice little surprise cheque in the post.
