I am so glad that I chose to invest in this software. It is a simple tool which guides you through the process in a very clear way. Firstly you can input the required information about the estate (which you would have to collate and provide to a solicitor anyway) and it then determines which forms need to be populated to apply for probate (and inheritance tax), and populates them correctly. It has saved us a lot of time and money . The customer support team are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and easy to get hold of. Thank you for making this a smooth process at a difficult time. Our grant of probate was received today which was only 5-6 weeks after receipt of the application by the probate office at a time where the probate office are quoting 8 week lead times to acknowledge probate application receipt.

I have rated this 5 star because I thought the process of data input was logical and made it very easy for a first time probate. I’m not an expert and I’m not fully aware of all the features, I would have liked the ability to have a data input set to have in case the probate office raised questions.

We followed all the instructions on how to complete the form and would recommend this site to anyone.
We followed all the instructions on how to fill in the appropriate spaces. As it was done at the weekend there was no one to speak to but on Monday when I got in a bit of a muddle Tom talked me through what I had to do. It all worked out fine in the end & I would recommend them to anyone who wanted to tackle Probate themselves.

I found You Can Do Probate really helpful, polite, they were very patient with me when I had a problem, and when I rang and left a message, they always came back to me, the proof of the pudding will be if my submission goes through successfully.

Doing probate is pretty complicated and I found YCDProbate simplified the procedure. Moreover, if you follow the process right through (take your time!) you can be very confident you have not missed anything of importance. Now here's the best part: if you have questions, they really will be answered within 24-48 hours, and answered well. Go for it.

An Excellant service
An Excellant service. I made good use of the advice given in the app which made the process simple and unbelievably it was granted by the HMCTS just four working days after it was delivered to them. Admittedly it was a relatively simple estate but definitely worth considering using this app rather than very expensive solicitors.

Helpful staff and good online service
It was really useful to start the forms and go back to them over a period of days without having to start again. Once completed and printed off, we sent off and our Grant of Probate was received 4 weeks later. I had to contact staff at the Help Centre on a couple of occasions and they were more than helpful. Definitely would recommend using this service if the application is not complicated.

I'm never one for leaving reviews
I'm never one for leaving reviews, but this service genuinely deserves the 5* review I'm giving it. I completed the probate application with my Mum shortly after my Dad's passing. My Mum had been quoted thousands of £s to do this on her behalf, which I felt was unreasonable. After a quick Google I found this website and suggested it to my Mum. She was sceptical at first so I offered to help, and having completed the intuitive online process with her, she quickly told me she could have done it herself! It's not a nice thing to deal with, particularly at such a difficult time, but I couldn't recommend this highly enough. It genuinely works and we have just received our letters of administration.

A difficult task made more simple for executors
Finding out about the process of registering a death and the probate process is not something that many people deal with on a regular basis, unless of course they are professionals in the field. Unfortunately I recently had to undertake this task and was shocked by the fees that can be charged by a professional to in effect collate information that I would have to find and supply to them. I looked for alternatives and found “youcandoprobate” I purchased the package and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use and followed the guide which helped steer me in the right direction to find the information I required to input. However one of the biggest surprises was when nearing the end of the process the tool established that the estate was over the threshold to qualify for IHT205 and that I would have to now go through the IHT400 documents. This, one may thing would be an annoyance having paid for the software licence and followed the process that far and to find that I could not complete. However this has been considered by the makers and as long as you have not generated the documents you are able to obtain a refund in line with their T’s & C’s. I still have to follow the IHT400 process but having used the “youcandoprobate” software I feel that this will be a far less daunting task than I would have thought as it has helped me to better understand the process and has helped me collate a lot of information. I would highly recommend this package to anyone in the unfortunate position of having to wind up an estate.

From the beginning I have had helpful advice. Tom has shown oodles of patience. My hearing is not of the best, neither is my eyesight, but I plodded on with his gentle pushing. I have not finished yet, a paper has gone missing which will hold up the finish for a few days. Which this service had been available four years ago!!!
