Kings Court Trust Avaliações 858

Kings Court Trust were helpful, patient and knowledgeable throughout the bereavement and probate process. The guidance given by the Personal Estate Manager Megan Cooper was exceptional.

It would have been difficult to have completed without their support, competence and professionalism.

Mariyam and the team at Kings Court made a very difficult period of my life much more manageable. Providing regular updates on the process and answering any questions I had in a swift manner. When it came to selling of property the companies they work with were reliable and extremely helpful whilst always feeling like they were on my side. Overall the probate process was a made far easier for me because of Mariyam and her team. Would recommend them to anyone who needs assistance in this matter.

i always felt that I could contact the lady dealing with our case, if she was out when I telephoned or emailed there was
always a prompt reply explaining if there was a problem and regular friendly emails updating me on the situation. For various reasons there was a delay but Chloe Chappell handled
it beautifully and we are very grateful for all she Kings Court Trust did to bring it to a conclusion. Thank you

I would highly recommend Connor Cogan for his excellent service. I felt very confident in his ability as a personal estate manager. He completed the administration of my brother's estate in about 12 months. He always responded to my phone calls and kept me informed by emailing monthly progress reports. He made interim payments to beneficiaries while waiting several months for final response from the DWP.

Kings Court Trust (KCT) specialises in probate and estate administration services. Having used their services after the death of a relative, I can highly recommend Kings Court Trust for their professional, efficient, and compassionate service.
We were provided with a Personal Estate Manager, Will Balman, who explained each stage of the process in simple terms. Communication was consistently clear and courteous, and overall, the process was very quick and efficient. I cannot recommend Will highly enough. Will and Kings Court Trust made a difficult period far more manageable. I would not hesitate to use their services again and would gladly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy probate and estate administration support at a very reasonable price.

It was a slow start as our initial Personal Estate Manager left the company.
I was then appointed WB as my new Personal Estate Manager.
From the first phone call Will Balman put me at ease, he was easy to talk to. Will explained the process and timeframes in a professional manner and was able to answer my queries efficiently. I was updated throughout the process and any queries I sent by email were promptly replied to with clear explanations.
Thank you Will for your support through this difficult time.

I found kings court trust very easy to deal with. They were professional and very quick to deal with any of my questions. In particular Mariyam is very helpful, friendly and easy to talk to. Her attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend her services.

From the first day I had contact with Kings Court Trust, I have had nothing more than 100% professionalism. My contact was with Hayley Hutton and the later Katie Darby. Both ladies where very helpful and kept me inform on how the process was going. The are probably not the cheapest company who sort out probate and inheritance, but you only get what you pay for and I would recommend paying the extra to get a very good professional service. Thank you Katie and Hayley

My father passed away in Thailand. I was only 27 at the time and, having never experienced the loss of someone so close to me, I was incredibly overwhelmed.

After doing some research, I came across Kings Court Trust. From the very first phone call all the way through to meeting my Estate Manager, Douglas, the entire team has been nothing short of incredible. They are professional, proactive, and have made the whole process as smooth as possible despite the numerous challenges.

For me, the most helpful aspect was being able to start the probate process without an upfront payment; I was incredibly grateful for that during such a difficult time of need and having company walk me through every step took an enormous pressure of my shoulders.

I would also like to say a massive thank you to Douglas personally. He has been amazing throughout this over year long journey extremely professional, polite, and always provided the right advice.

He is a real asset to the company. Kings Court Trust also works with many partners who have further aided in making the process seamless.

If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing probate services, I cannot recommend them highly enough. A huge thank you to Douglas and the entire team for everything they have done.

The thoroughness and professionalism of KCT was consistent through the process. Ellie was always sensitive and clear on the status in her communications.

Good communication.
Personal service.
Prompt replies to any queries.

We were delighted with the care and attention Aoife Croft at KCT provided in the probate and administration of our mother's estate. Regular updates in a friendly, approachable manner made this process so much easier for us. Would also mention the helpful and attentive actions of Joanna Coleman as we began to navigate this process, and until we were allocated to Aoife, our personal estate manager.

Received recommendable professional end to end service. Naming the KCT contacts I dealt with, from Charles Melvin-Sparks during scoping out the work and onboarding, then from Ifzal Hussain during the service itself. Both were helpful and responsive. Thank you

Beware of this company, they ignore beneficiaries and keep their money for years!!!!!!

My sons’ grandfather died in 2022. Kings Court Trust were appointed to deal with his estate. The main beneficiaries are my two boys – one is now 18, the other is still a minor.

His house was sold in 2024 and, on paper, the estate administration appears to be complete. We’ve been given “final” paperwork showing that the figures have been calculated and that the remaining estate is meant to be held in trust for the boys. However, 20 months after the house sale, they are holding over £300,000 and no money at all has been passed on to the trustees.

Whenever we ask why the funds aren’t being transferred to the boys’ trustees, we are given a vague explanation about “awaiting an HMRC repayment”. No clear details, no proper timeline, and no acknowledgement of how long this has been going on. They refuse to even speak to me, the legal guardian/mother of the minor child.

We’re living abroad in very insecure rental conditions where there is no real protection for tenants. The whole point of this inheritance was to provide stability for the boys, but the money is still sitting with Kings Court Trust and we keep getting the same HMRC repayment excuse.

I don’t want to post all our private financial details in a public review, but I do want to say that the delays and lack of clear communication have caused a huge amount of stress for our family. The boys are now suffering mentally and KCT don't care.
we'll have no choice but go to the regulators and ombudsman-

EDIT in response to Kings Court Trust’s reply:
KCT say they have “been in touch directly with the relevant family members”. To be clear:
– My adult son, who is one of the two main beneficiaries, has not received any clear updated information about why over £300,000 is still being held.
– The two “family member” trustees they have been speaking to are no longer trustees – independent professional trustees (Fidelis) were appointed in October 2025.

Douglas Elson kept me up to date on developments. He was quick and reassuring in his responses to my questions. I found Douglas to be courteous and professional in his whole approach. Overall I have been very satisfied with King’s Court Trust.

I consider myself very fortunate to have had Megan Willmott as my Probate Manager for the last two and half years. Having never gone through the probate process before, I felt a little daunted as to what it would involve. I certainly need not to have been concerned as Megan guided me through this with patience, clarity and respect. Communication with Megan was excellent. We agreed we would communicate once a month by email, more frequently if required, and this suited me very well. It also gave us both a good record of progress. Throughout the process, Megan frequently offered additional help if I needed it. I would like to thank her for all she has done for me and I wish Megan every success in her future career.

Due to family issues, my case has taken 2.5yrs to obtain probate. My personal Estate manager
Mr Wayne Nobile has been professional, articulate & supportive throughout this very difficult time. He has personally shown patiences & kindness while delivering a superior service for KCT. I cannot praise him or KCT enough. Thank you.

The experience was great because communication was clear and I always knew what was happening. The team was professional, approachable, and handled everything efficiently while being understanding during a difficult time. They made a complex process feel much more manageable.

The service provided has been exceptional throughout the whole process. Kings Court Trust have provided much support and reassurance, and have supported us during a process which was unknown making it seamless. I would highly recommend this service.

The excellent response I received from my first point of contact, Hayley, made me confident that Kings Court Trust was the best choice for the Probate process. My estate manager, Katie Darby, has administered the estates of both my parents, working with expertise and guiding me through the complexities, smoothly and efficiently. The naturally transactional character of Probate was eased by Katie's sensitivity and understanding which made an enormous difference at a time of bereavement. I was always updated and kept fully informed and reassured. I have learnt a great deal along the way, but I couldn't possibly have attempted this process without the skills, expertise and support of a dedicated professional. My deepest thanks go to Katie for making this a positive experience, and for her outstanding work and approach, my family will be forever grateful.
