When Life Throws A Curveball
After a recent unexpected major health issue, both myself and my partner decided we needed a will in place to safeguard us and our family in the future. We spoke with Paul Hyatt who offered good advice based on our situation and the best solution to suit our needs. Thanks to Paul and the team for their professional and helpful service. Would highly recommend.

First class service look no further
Andrew has a very pleasant manner which put me at ease after thinking that estate planning was very complicated. He explained everything in a clear concise manner which was easy to understand and he told me of what my options could be. I found out things that previously I was unaware of in will writing. He certainly knows his stuff and I am so glad I’ve found him. I whole heartedly recommend Andrew and the Co-op estate planning and will writing service.

Janet was extremely helpful , a good listener and very understanding during our conversation. She helped me to feel comfortable especially when I mentioned that I have dyslexia. It's not the easiest subject to discuss but one that needs doing and I highly recommend the team at Co-op Estate Planning.

Good professional advice.
Professional advice given for writing my Will and options explained to me that I didn’t know/might not otherwise have considered. Gethin was very clear and listened to my questions and gave thorough and clear answers to everything and didn’t mind repeating detail which he did patiently! I felt confident in the process and very happy with the service.
