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.

"There are no words to explain how amazing the staff are. Natalie dealt with us when my mum passed away — she was so kind, helpful and caring. I dealt with her right the way through; if I had a problem or wanted to change something it was never a problem. She kept in contact every step of the way. If I could have given them more stars I would."
