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.

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.

"Dignified, beautiful, helpful, respectful - couldn't have asked for more."
— Sue Kimmins
"Sandra and the rest of the staff really took care of us through the process of my mother's funeral. They were kind and sensitive and let us take our time to decide on how we wanted to do it."
— Yrneh SnilloC (about Sandra)
"The treatment we were given after losing our beloved mum, from start to finish was amazing, made us feel so relaxed, friendly, that goes along way when you are organising a funeral for your loved ones. Nothing was ever a problem, just a phone call and everything they could do for you they did. Even a visit to the chapel of rest. A personal touch. A cup of tea. Perfect."
— sally reeve
"The suggestions and personal touches they made ensured a difficult time was made as easy as possible and our son's final journey was one we shall always remember with love."
— Janet Burke (about Emma)
"Losing Nojus at just 18 years old is a pain beyond words. Yet your compassion, understanding, and attention to every detail brought us a small sense of peace in the midst of overwhelming grief. From the first conversation to the final farewell, we felt not only professionalism but also true humanity. Thank you for being by our side, for easing our burden, and for helping us lay Nojus to rest with dignity and respect."
— Patricia Mis19 (about Emma)
"I had not a clue what to do regarding a funeral when my brother suddenly died earlier this month. Everybody I spoke to were helpful & courteous, nothing was too big a problem for them. They even brought my brother's body back to March from Leicester. I cannot thank them enough."

From the very first contact Emma and Krystal and the rest of the team were not only very professional, but every interaction we had was also conducted with care and personal attention. The suggestions and personal touches they made ensured a difficult time was made as easy as possible and our son’s final journey was one we shall always remember with love.

Losing Nojus at just 18 years old is a pain beyond words. Yet your compassion, understanding, and attention to every detail brought us a small sense of peace in the midst of overwhelming grief. From the first conversation to the final farewell, we felt not only professionalism but also true humanity. Thank you for being by our side, for easing our burden, and for helping us lay Nojus to rest with dignity and respect. With deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks, His mother, father, brother, godparents, and all the family July 2nd, 2025

Sandra and the rest of the staff really took care of us through the process of my mother's funeral. They were kind and sensitive and let us take our time to decide on how we wanted to do it. No complaints at all. We chose them over the funeral directors next door 'Turners' who we felt were rushy and insensitive when we inquired about it. .

I had not a clue what to do regarding a funeral when my brother suddenly died earlier this month. Everybody I spoke to at The Co op Funeral Services in Chatteris & then George James & son in March were helpful & courteous nothing was to big a problem for them. They even brought my brothers body back to March from Leicester. I cannot thank them enough & a special thanks to Kerry Rolfe for doing a simple service & for reading the eulogy I wrote
