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.

"Jenna was fantastic from day 1, very compassionate with her approach, helping and advising me on the various elements of the funeral process. Nothing was too much trouble. They eased the burden throughout what is a very difficult period of time and I'm truly grateful."
— Paul Middleton (about Jenna)
"Having never had to arrange a funeral before and never thinking I would have to arrange my husband's at such a young age, Mashfords were amazing. I would especially like to thank Barry who made this very difficult time that little bit easier."
— Nikki Callanan (about Barry)
"From the moment he was in his care we felt a sense of relief that he was resting peacefully and being well attended to. Lee is an absolute credit to Mashfords — he was a very welcome support to the whole family and made a very sad time as easy to navigate as possible."
— Holly Borrill (about Lee)
"He arrived at 4am on the morning he died and was the constant point of contact right up to the funeral. He quickly responded to every question along the way and was kind and caring with every interaction. My mother and I felt confident every detail was being handled."
— Sarah Atkinson (about Barry)
"A huge big thank you Barry Woodroffe for everything you did for us and the comfort you gave with your wonderful sense of humour, dignified but always warm and heartfelt. The words 'THANK YOU' do not adequately describe our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to a wonderful, respectful and caring team."
— Sharon Rose-Bloy (about Barry Woodroffe)

The words "THANK YOU" do not adequately described our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to a wonderful, respectful and caring team of hardworkers. Everyone went above and beyond at a most difficult time for our family, but nothing has been too much trouble. A huge big thank you Barry Woodroffe for everything you did for us and the comfort you gave with your wonderful sense of humour, dignified but always warm and heartfelt. Thank you all from us all for everything you all did for the family of Paul Michael Broomhead.

Barry from Mashfords provided an excellent, professional and personal service when my father passed away in February. He arrived at 4am on the morning he died and was the constant point of contact right up to funeral, which he supervised with precision. He quickly responded to every question along the way and was kind and caring with every interaction. My mother and I felt confident every detail was being handled and I would highly recommend Mashfords and Barry for anyone at this difficult time.
