Great Service from Co-op Estate Planning
We received excellent service from Co-op Estate Planning. Karen was knowledgeable, professional and extremely patient throughout the process. She took the time to listen carefully to our wishes, explained everything clearly and ensured that our Will was prepared exactly as we wanted.
Co-op Estate Planning was recommended to us by friends and we are very pleased that we chose their service. The whole experience was straightforward and reassuring. We would not hesitate to recommend Karen and Co-op Estate Planning to anyone looking for expert and reliable estate planning advice.

Straightforward and reassuring
I recently used Coop Estate Planning and was extremely impressed with the service I received. The entire process was handled professionally, clearly, and with great attention to detail.
A special mention goes to Gitesh, who was outstanding throughout. He was incredibly insightful, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but Gitesh's expertise and patience made the whole experience straightforward and reassuring. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and provided valuable guidance tailored to my circumstances.
I would highly recommend Coop Estate Planning to anyone looking for professional, trustworthy estate planning services. Thank you, Gitesh, for your excellent support and advice.

Shocking service from a household name
This service was referred to me via my Barclays account. The consultant sort to maximise the future value of my estate, despite comments I made regarding this aspect, and went to overstate the value in order to sell me additional products I do not need. verging on a scam, do not use.
