Excellent service and value for money
This is the second time I have used the Co-op service to make a Will and including setting up a Trust and the process was excellent identifying any difficult issues and always identifying the best solution. The service really is very good value for money.

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.

Poor communication
Meeting held during which the advice was clear. Was asked to purchase product during meeting but not given any breakdown of cost. Felt a bit pressured. Decided to pay. After the meeting I did not receive anything from the Co-op. I expected, at least, a receipt of payment. I have tried to chase by email but these have been ignored. I am beginning to wonder if this is a legitimate operation.

Quality service
Gitesh helped us prepare our wills and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. They made the whole process simple, clear, and stress-free, taking the time to answer all our questions and explain everything in a way we could easily understand. Gitesh was very professional, friendly, and genuinely caring throughout. Look forward to working with the team again.

Stress free experience sorting our wills with Colin
We had been avoiding sorting out our wills and now wish we had done it sooner, Colin made the whole process much less daunting. He was very knowledgeable and explained things simply and clearly which we were both very grateful for. Also appreciated the ability to have a meeting outside of core working hours which suited our needs. Many thanks would recommend Colin to anyone in the same position as us.
