Took most of the stress out of dealing with my sister's estate. Relief at not having to spend hours dealing with administration with which I was not familiar. Much better in the hands of the professionals

I used kings court trust to get a grant if probate for my husband's estate. At every stage they were very friendly, considerate, respectful and most of all professional. The first person I spoke to was Joanna Coleman who was very patient in explaining probate to me and established what I needed to do. I was then assigned Wayne Nobile as my case coordinator. He was extremely patient and professional and kept me updated with what was happening at every stage. When I had question's he was at the end of a phone or email and responded promptly. No question was considered stupid and I was very comfortable with how everything was handled. Having spoken to a few people who had gone through the same process as me it seems as though I had a very easy time if it due to the people at kings court trust for which I'm very grateful.

I found the whole team from application to the granting of probate to be professional and their willingness to guide and help kept my stress levels to the minimum which something like a bereavement will cause to be raised. They kept me fully informed of progress and although their work was complete when they obtained the letter of probate, they made themselves available to offer advice on any problems which I may be faced with when progressing my representations to the banks.
Exceptional Service and top value for money

The helpful personal estate manager went through everything needed and soon obtained probate. The appointment of my children as trustees, an amendment to my wife's will and an update of the house registration was clearly explained and completed by the assigned technical expert. My children and I were satisfied by the attention we received and the fixed price. We would use Kings Court Trust, Bristol again

At a very difficult time in my familys life, having had no experience of dealing with a situation like this before, the usual concerns as to who to engage to deal with things was daunting to say the least. My first enquiry was to the Kings Court Trust, from the outset they gave me a very good insight into the process and steps we would become involved in, obtaining probate. The costs and options were fully explained and I gained a great deal of confidence from it. The process has in fact been very well handled from start to finish. The initially quoted costs and expenses have all proved acurate and the follow ups to various actions have all been very prompt and easy to understand. I would recommend Kings Court Trust to anyone without hesitation.

As the sole executor of my mum’s estate I turned to KCT to assist me with first stage of Probate. Throughout the process the team gave me clear and professional advice at a time when my grief made clarity of thought extremely difficult. Hannah Pick attended to my case with respect and efficiency. Communication was excellent; Hannah made every effort to answer my questions and was kind and professional throughout. I highly recommend KCT.

I recommend 100% Kings Court Trust for their professionalism, knowledge and empathy towards my case. From beginning to end I was fortunate to meet extremely helpful people who kept me up to date throughout the whole process.
Thank you so much to Joanna and Hussain. I am so grateful for your support.

My appointed KCT lawyer has always been courteous and very proactive in response to inquiries. I have also been pleased to find answers to questions to be clear and straightforward. I have also been pleased to find the company very helpful and supportive during the difficulties relating to one aspect of the estate. In this respect I can sum up by saying that I have found that I was able to trust KCT to do a good job.

We were assisted by Ifzal Hussein. He communicated timely, efficiently and professionally.
Our case was handled with due diligence and everything was above board.
Keep up the good work Ifzal.

Kings Court gave an excellent service regarding probate.
They were professional and could be contacted when their advice was necessary.
They charged a flat fee and dealt with HMRC regarding some tax matters.
I would recommend them

After the death of my civic partner the process of dealing with the inheritance started.
It was overwhelming and it wasn’t long before I ended up in a state of insecurity.
Kings Court Trust was recommended to me and I managed to find a local representative, who visited my at my home
Shortly after, I got a personal lawyer dealing with me. In my case it was: Hollie Turner.
For me it was very professional by KCT to have one lawyer assigned to me, dealing with all my questions. Resarching and handling on my behalf.
Every question was answered in an understandable way. Missing data was searched and coordinated.
Very often in big companies one never talks to the same person again and has to repeat his concern over and over again. Not with KCT.
Further more it is the policy to include you in their doings and their progress.
Apart from a monthy information, one I was able to see and follow the process online through my very own personal Client Portal.
It took a year to finalize my inheritance.
Without KCT I would probably still be dealing with many issues without success.
I herewith can highly recomend the company and I am glad I made that choice.

My cousin died leaving myself and her sister as executors. We both had prior experience of applying for probate etc but for many reasons decided to appoint Kings Court Trust on a fixed price basis. It has turned out to have been the best decision we could have made. WB has been fantastic, keeping us updated regularly, dealing with the many and difficult problems that arose, I feel I owe my sanity and peace of mind to his calm, efficient and professionalism. I throughly recommend this company to anyone

Joanna is friendly and incredibly helpful - She offered reassurance and advice when I wasn't sure what to do - would recommend.

Reply from Kings Court Trust
Took all the worries away from me, and took over applying for probate for me but keeping me informed and requesting information as required. Well worth using them.

Good service by Hannah Pickup

Our bank referred us to Kings Court, after the initial discussions we were told about the amount of help that would be needed and the approximate fees which were adhered too. We were advised and updated regularly over the probate period, and we then received an interim payment. We were regularly contacted whilst waiting for property had to be sold. Chloe Chappell was involved over much of the process, she was professional and caring and we greatly valued her help. We would recommend Kings Court Trust.
