Exceptional support through a very difficult and complex probate process
I cannot speak highly enough of Karen and the support she has given me throughout what has been a very complex and sensitive probate case.
From the outset, Karen has been exceptional. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and responsive, and I have always felt that I was in very safe hands. Probate was completely new to me, and with so many different moving parts it could easily have felt overwhelming. Karen has taken the time to explain the process clearly, let me know what to expect and guide me through each stage, while always helping to keep things moving forward.
Her knowledge and experience really shine through. Whenever something complicated has arisen, her advice has been clear, considered and practical. She also responds incredibly quickly, which has been hugely reassuring. I have never felt that I have been left wondering what is happening or what I need to do next.
What has meant even more to me, however, is the sensitivity Karen has shown throughout. This process follows the loss of my sister, who left our world far too early. Behind all the legal matters, paperwork and practical decisions is a very personal loss, and Karen has never lost sight of that.
She has managed to strike exactly the right balance between being compassionate and understanding, while also gently helping me to deal with everything that needs to be done. That combination of genuine sensitivity and excellent professional advice has made an enormous difference.
Throughout a difficult and unfamiliar process, Karen has been a constant. She is calm, reliable, approachable and incredibly knowledgeable, and I have had complete confidence in her advice.
I genuinely feel very lucky to have had Karen looking after this case. You hope that when you need professional help at one of the most difficult times in your life, you will find someone who not only knows their job exceptionally well, but also understands the human side of what you are going through. Karen is absolutely that person.
I am enormously grateful for everything she has done and continues to do. She is a real credit to Co-op Legal Services, and I would recommend her and the service I have received without hesitation.

Coop probate services
I had a telephone meeting with James Gordon-Foxwell regarding providing probate services for my Mothers estate. James was informative and professional throughout the call, explaining any concerns and questions I had regarding probate. This was very helpful having not had any dealings with probate before hand. I plan to take out the Coop probate service after my call with James.

STAY AWAY
Total lack of communication and poor case handling because of staff turnover, months of waiting on updates of progress potentially leading to breakdown in purchase of property, call back requests ignored and emails not responded to total incompetent bunch of conveyancers, reported to SRA and LEO, the only positive reviews recently are from overseas customers, what a stitch up, avoid at all costs
