Standard Trust failing to deliver

My husband passed away 4 years ago, he had his Will made out with standard trust. The worst decision ever. 4 years later the standard trust team don't even know when exactly they will finalise this estate, I constantly have to call and email them. I have escalated to their trust complaint centre as well nobody cares hey, they just keep on giving you the same feedback, they literally action anything on your estate on your push, I'm so angry and don't even know how to escalate this matter anymore. My children and I are so fustrated as our lives have been on hold for this 4 years. When you request to speak to line managers at the department the receptionist transfers calls but no one ever answers. Standard trust is the worst they don't care about people's livelihood. Their work ethic is very shocking.

One year later after I submitted this review of 4 years of fustrated it’s getting worse this is now 5 years, I’m still not assisted. The last stroke is when they changed the estate administrator who was assisting me and the one who’s assisting me now is the worst. Said they would give me feedback of my query 16 August and up until today I’m still waiting. Dropped an email to follow up I get an out of office escalated to the person he put on his out of office to no avail.
Then to their worst call centre the Lady by the name of Ndine who cares less about Clients put me on a hold for over 30 minutes as I wait to speak to the manager to try see if I cannot get some assistance. She just left me on hold like that no courtesy to pick up this call and tellme she’s battling to get a hold of the manager or anything of that sort. Standard Trust doesn’t care about the beneficiaries . I’m beyond frustrated and dissatisfied. Clearly no one is held accountable or follows up to ensure clients are being assisted.

Their switchboard operators care less hey , I remember getting into an argument with one of them and they were so arrogant and even dropped my calls as they probably saw my number.

Did you even do this follow up, no one has contacted me. I have tried to reach out to the Manager(Kellyann) she doesn’t answer her the phone,I have become very miserable due to standard trust. I am beyond fustrated. For a business dealing with families it is very scary how you don’t care. My life is completely stuck since 2019. This estate now doesn’t even have an administrator, the new one allocated went AWOL , even when I try to get help from the previous administrator , she cannot take the decision to help me on her own. The biggest mistake anyone can make is make out their will with Standard Trust. I’m honestly devastated now.
