The easy and affordable way to apply for probate
spot on. thanks.
Really nice to use software that wrapped over the top of the Gov UK forms. Found it much simpler to use and collected all the required information. Would recommend to others, especially if doing for the first time.
This is a brilliant piece of software. Very easy to use and intuative and, makes the daunting task of applying for a Grant of Probate easy for anyone who can use a computer. It makes using a solicitor for this task completely redundant. Also, the on line help is excellent as you can actually speak to a human.
As it says; “You can do Probate” all be it with a little help from the team who are really great. I had my doubts initially but I have managed to complete all of the forms and get my application in for my Mothers estate, and I am in my 70S. It was interesting that funeral expenses are an expense rather than a liability but I suppose if we think about it, it is. Many thanks to the team. I can just wait and see how long it takes to get it from here.
simple system and help available if needede
Very prompt, efficient and friendly. Certainly helped me in difficult times. Very straight forward and the step by step forms were a great help.
Throughout the process, every time we were unsure of something a representative (Tom) of Youcando Probate was at the end of the phone and could not have been more helpful. The whole process was easy and quick to complete.
The form was quite easy to follow. But the support from the staff was fantastic and very helpful.
Highly recommend this company. The intuitive software is easy to use and the friendly and professional telephone support is excellent. On the advise of the team I posted off my documents as I had considered using the government online form assuming it may be quicker! However Probate was granted in 15 days from when I posted my documents. Thank you to all the team at You Can Do Probate for making a stressful and emotional task much easier to navigate without the need of expensive solicitors! Nb The only improvement that I feel would be beneficial is the function to print the breakdown of all the values and calculations
This was a god send to me, made it all so simple and the support you receive if you have any questions or get stuck is amazing.
Better then spending 1000s on solicitors fees!
First time having to go through the probate process, so used this service for peace of mind.had. A call back very quickly on a query I had sent the forms off and received my ref number after two weeks. And probate was granted the following week. Can’t recommend this service enough.

Some quick answers
Yes. The only additional cost is the £526 Probate Registry fee for estates over £5,000, paid directly to HMCTS. That fee applies whichever route you take. No hourly rates, no percentages, no extras.
No. There is no legal requirement to use a solicitor to apply for probate in England and Wales, and thousands of people apply themselves every year. A solicitor does the same paperwork you would, and charges you for it.
If you can get online, you can use the platform. There is nothing to install and the questions are in plain English. There is video guidance throughout showing you exactly what to do, and if you get stuck you can call us and share your platform screen with us so we can see what you see and guide you through it.
Nothing is locked in until you generate your forms, so you can go back and change any answer as many times as you need. And even after they are generated, if you spot a mistake you can delete the forms, make the change and generate them again.
Your completed forms can be ready to submit within hours of registering. HMCTS quote eight to sixteen weeks for a Grant, though most of our customers receive theirs well within eight weeks, and some within a couple of weeks.
Where inheritance tax forms are needed, HMRC usually take around three weeks to review the IHT400. They then issue you a probate code, which you enter into the platform to generate your probate form for HMCTS, who aim to turn it around in a similar period.
You print them, sign them and post them. The platform tells you exactly what to send, where to send it and what to enclose, and there is a video explaining the whole thing. There is nothing left for you to work out.
Was dubious at first but after messaging a couple of queries and receiving replies almost immediately I purchased the software process and it was amazingly easy would definitely recommend
You can do probate made the whole process so much easier. The platform guides you along the way with helpful explanations to questions that you may not understand. Even if you are stuck or confused by anything you can give them a call or online chat and they are happy to help. I really cant fault this service and at a fraction of the cost compared to solicitors. Thank you guys.
It is an excellent, easy to use site and refreshingly dispenses with having to use a solicitor and avoids their unnecessary high fees.
I seriously cannot believe the money I have saved by doing probate myself. If there was a question I didn’t understand I requested a call back, which I received quickly and was able to chat to the advisor who explained so that I was able to understand. Definitely recommend
Title : I cannot recommend YouCanDoProbate more for a dedicated and high quality service ! When I first registered with YouCanDoProbate I was dubious: as it was an on-line format and I am incredibly poor with anything electronic, but I need not have worried. As soon as I sent a pleas for help my emails were answered and followed up with a phone call from Tom or Adam on the same day, and often within an hour ! They both had lots of patience and understood my concerns (which were really minor issues !) I was never felt to feel foolish and always treated with respect and professionalism. I had recently helped my brother to obtai
