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.

Without doubt my mother's funeral could not have been better handled. Andrew and the team planned and delivered a wonderful tribute to her. They put us at ease from the off and nothing was too much trouble. Their experience and confidence in what they were doing showed through and it took the worry away from us and gave us confidence. We had many many compliments about the whole day and that was mostly down to Andrew and the team, so we cannot praise them high enough. They made a difficult situation into a polished and dignified goodbye to our beloved Mum and for that, we will always be grateful.
