The robin in our logo is more than just a symbol. It reflects who we are and what we stand for.
In folklore, robins are believed to represent passed loved ones checking in on you. They symbolise good luck, happiness, and rebirth, while also embodying protection and care.
Much like the robin, we are both a source of support and a fierce advocate for your family during probate. We're here to help you move forward, with both compassion and expertise.
If someone close to you has passed away and you have questions about probate or what needs to be done, our team of specialists are on hand to help. Discuss the next steps and how professional support can reduce the burden.
They looked after the estate and were brilliant from start to finish – professional and genuinely compassionate throughout.

We were kept up to date with the progress without being inundated with emails, which can be overwhelming, and also feel that our late father was treated respectably. Would have no problem recommending your company.

We were not experienced in sorting out or dealing with the death of a loved one but Kings Court Trust and the staff involved were very helpful to us. They were very understanding of the fact that it was a new and confusing time for us.

This was a very complicated estate to sort out with no Will, unknown assets, unusual family tree and a burglary after the death. I am very pleased to have used KCT and have no reservations in recommending them to others.

At the most difficult time in my life, I was so fortunate to have my Personal Estate Manager at Kings Court Trust. She explained everything clearly, was proactive in helping to move things along and had a very pleasant and professional manner. They handled it all with patience and careful explanation.

I have no hesitation in STRONGLY recommending their highly professional probate services to others. They have recently concluded my late mother’s estate. They were highly efficient and they made the at times complicated process (to those, like me, not used to handling probate issues!) very easy and simple. I can strongly recommend Kings Court Trust.

Absolutely fantastic service and very supportive during a distressing time - my adviser kept me up to date and guided me through the probate process with sensitivity and understanding. I couldn’t have dealt with my late wife’s probate without them.
