Poor service from Standard Trust

Standard Trust was nominated as executors in my Dad's will. After much delay, they appointed an executor to administer the estate. It would appear that they use freelancers and do not monitor the status/progress themselves. The feedback provided is non-existent. It appears that action is only taken when I request something to be done. I tried to contact the appointed executor in January on to find that he no longer works for Standard Trust. Standard Trust did not notify me that this had happened. Standard Trust is not responding to my emails. At this point, I have no idea what the status of the estate is. I would recommend that people who nominated Standard Trust as executors in their wills amend the clause.

Seems the only was to a response from Standard Trust is to post complain on social media. Extremely poor service. If anyone has a clause in their will naming the bank as executor, I would encourage you to change it.

Still not even close to being resolved.
I notice that they now have a "Hello Peter response team". How about actually doing the job you signed up for instead of posting form responses.
