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.

"They are sensitive and gentle, they explained things slowly giving us time to take in all the information. They looked after Stephen beautifully for us."
— Sally Parry
"It was particularly helpful to be contacted frequently in the run up to the funeral with reassuring reminders and questions that we had not thought about. This gave us all a sense of confidence that everything would work well. Friendly, clear and respectful — professional in a warm and relaxed way."
— Kv Karunavira
"Nothing was too much trouble for Becki or Diane. The support throughout, always going the extra mile, made a difficult time so much easier and gave us so much reassurance when entrusting a loved one to their care."
— David Wells (about Becki & Diane)
"Rhea the funeral director and Diana were excellent, kind and caring and made me feel a lot better when I was starting to crumble."
— Sue Citysue (about Rhea & Diana)
"Becki at Haine and Son was truly amazing. I asked that she oversee the whole process, that she dress and talk everyday to my Dad and come to the service. Becki put the ashes in the urn and brought it to my house going out of her way. I cannot thank Becki and Haine enough for making such an awful time so perfect and stress free."
— Helen Neal (about Becki)
"My father died on 5th November, and my most beloved 32 year old son died two days after my father's funeral. So this has been the hardest and most difficult time of my life. But Haine & Son in Battle have been amazing. I want to especially mention Becky and Maria, who I could not have got through this without their help, they are angels."
— Neville Austin (about Becky & Maria)

We can honestly recommend Haines at Battle ( CPJ Field ) as wonderfully compassionate, caring and thoroughly professional. Nothing was too much trouble for Becki or Diane in organising with Father James both the service and committal in accordance with family wishes. The funeral director and team at the church and committal were kind, respectful , considerate and utterly professional. The support throughout, always going the extra mile, made a difficult time so much easier and gave us so much reassurance when entrusting a loved one to their care. Thank you all David and Julie Wells

My father died on 5th November, and my most beloved 32 year old son died two days after my fathers funeral. So this has been the hardest and most difficult time of my life. But Haine & Son in Battle have been amazing, they have helped me so so much. With their kindness and support, I have managed, and I have been able to give both my father and my son the most beautiful and deeply moving funeral services, and they were honoured with so much respect and love. Haine & Sons were so professional, and they went above and beyond as we had to deal with some difficult challenges and circumstances, but Haine & Sons made any problem just go away. I want to especially mention Becky and Maria, who I could not of got through this without their help, they are angels

Our experience using Haine and Son at the challenging time of our mother’s death was very positive. Communication about all aspects of the funeral was clear and kind and respectful. It was particularly helpful to be contacted frequently in the run up to the funeral with reassuring reminders and questions that we had not thought about. This gave us all a sense of confidence that everything would work well. Friendly, clear and respectful…professional in a warm and relaxed way Dh. Karunavira (some of the deceased)

We were delighted with the service Haine and Son provided. They are sensitive and gentle, they explained things, slowly giving us time to take in all the information. They looked after Stephen beautifully for us. The day of the funeral went off to plan, the cars were discreet and their drivers efficient. It was marvellous to be driven on that all important day. Many thanks to the team from us all.
