Question of 3
Did the person who died own a property?
Including any property in their name, even if jointly owned.
Were there savings, investments, or other assets?
Bank accounts, shares, pensions, or valuables above a few thousand pounds.
Was there a will?
Even if you're not sure where it is, knowing one exists can change the process.
This can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure it out alone. A probate specialist can walk you through the next steps — no obligation, no pressure.
That's one less thing to worry about. If anything changes or you'd like a quick confirmation, a specialist can put your mind at rest.
Many families don't have all the information straight away — that's completely normal. A quick chat with a specialist can help you understand what applies to your situation.

The company has now been looked after since 1966 by three generations of the Peace family.
Our Romsey office is looked after by both Simon and Michael Peace. With honesty, integrity and transparency at the heart of their beliefs, they understand that every funeral is unique.
Our modern facilities include dedicated Chapels of Rest, set in our large beautiful garden.
"They acted with kindness and consideration and were totally professional. On the day of the funeral everything worked perfectly which was a comfort to myself and all the family. You can put your trust in them to provide a first class service."
— Christopher Inman
"The whole team, led by Bex, treated us all with a sympathetic and pragmatic approach from the start and made a very difficult day bearable. They took care of all aspects of the arrangements thereby helping to reduce the distress at such an emotional time."
— Ayla Lambert (about Bex)
"Lucy was with us every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble for her. Thank you from all the family for making this a day to remember for all the right reasons."
— Michael Chalk (about Lucy)
"They helped me organise my late mother's funeral very quickly and also from a distance as I lived miles away from my mum. It was done with dignity and compassion, also caring for those left behind before, during and after the service — nothing was too much trouble."
— Zara Bailey (about Richard)
"Richard at Cheater's was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He helped us navigate the experience of arranging the funeral for our loved one.

A. F. Cheaters recently made all the arrangements for my late wife's' funeral in Romsey Abbey. They acted with kindness and consideration and were totally professional as expected from a local and long established company. On the day of the funeral everything worked perfectly which was a comfort to myself and all the family. You can put your trust in them to provide a first class service.

My family have known this family run business for generations. The service received each time we sadly have to cross paths for this nature, is first class from beginning to end. From my grandparents, my dad and sadly my mum only last week, A. H. Cheaters are our go to funeral directors without hesitation. Every detail is carried out professionally and with the utmost care, compassion and attention. Even in such a sad time, the experience with the whole team is outstanding. My family and I cannot recommend these guys enough. Very highly recommended. Thank you to all, on behalf of Jane Richards.
