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.

H G King Funeral Services is a small, independent, and family-run funeral director based at The Old Bank, 24 North Road, Lancing, West Sussex. Established on 4th September 2017 by Henry George King, the business originally operated from 69 North Road before relocating to the former Lloyds Bank building in January 2022. Henry was introduced to the funeral industry by his late father, David, in 2011, and has been a proud part of the Lancing community for over 40 years through the King family.
The firm is run by Henry alongside his partner Isabella Roozbehan, and their Labrador retriever Bennington. H G King Funeral Services offers a wide variety of services including attended and unattended cremation and burial, tailored pre-paid funeral plans, stonemasonry memorials, repatriation, and post-funeral support. They also operate their own Lancing Service Chapel, which seats up to 36 guests and features music, photography slideshows, air conditioning, disabled access, and no time constraints.
Henry is deeply committed to giving back to the community, supporting local football, cricket, and bowling clubs, as well as schools and churches. The firm is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), ensuring annual premises inspections and a commitment to transparent, honest pricing with no hidden costs.
"For the second time in my life I have had to arrange a funeral and on both occasions Henry is the person I have turned to. He is kind and genuinely cares about his clients. I totally trust him."
— Lesley Weston (about Henry King)
"He showed genuine kindness, patience, and professionalism, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer questions with real care. His support made a stressful situation feel much more manageable."
— Danny Spiers (about Henry King)
"It was reassuring to hear friends tell us that we were in 'Safe Hands'. I know Mum would have been truly delighted with her final farewell."
— Angela Ritchie (about Henry King)
"No request we made was ever refused or judged and he fulfilled all of our wishes exactly as we had asked. Everything went exactly as we had asked for when he took care of my Dad's funeral."
— Deb Kamis (about Henry King)
"Henry even arranged a piper to process down Arundel High Street marching alongside him. This young man deserves every success in his business as he certainly has a gift with people and he treats people with the utmost respect."
— Naomi Collis (about Henry King)
"I had expected an elderly, doleful looking person but Mr King is a young man with an easy, kind smile and manner. I knew I could turn to him if I became too upset which was such an essential aid."
— Avril Phelps (about Henry King)
