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.

Probate might not be needed
That means the funeral costs probably can't be covered this way. But every situation is different — a quick chat can confirm.

From start to finish, Miles & Daughters provided an outstanding and truly compassionate service during an incredibly difficult time for the funeral of our mum. Every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine empathy, which gave our family great comfort and peace of mind. A special mention must go to Lucie, who was absolutely wonderful — kind, attentive, and always available to answer questions or offer reassurance. Her warmth and understanding made a world of difference. We would also like to thank Ryan, whose calm presence, professionalism, and attention to detail on the day were exceptional and deeply appreciated. The whole team without exception meant nothing ever felt rushed, and every request was handled with respect and dignity. We cannot thank the team at Miles & Daughters enough for the support they gave us, the compassion they showed our family and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a funeral director who truly goes above and beyond.

Following the death of my mother I asked Miles and Daughters to arrange the collection of my mother from her Carehome and to arrange her funeral. Lucie at Miles and Daughters was extremely helpful and efficient and worked to make all the arrangements as our family wished. I was also put in touch with a celebrant who was also kind, compassionate and took the time to listen and help plan Mum's service at Easthampstead Park Crematorium. I had total trust in Lucie and all that was discussed and arranged worked as planned. I am very happy with the support shown to my family by Miles and Daughters. Thank you. Paul Brindley
