My dad passed away in December and to…

My dad passed away in December and to save money, because his Estate appeared quite straightforward I opted to take on the role of Executor. Everything has been absolutely fine, time consuming but okay however I was concerned about the IHT element and ensuring the calculations were correct for when the Probate application was submitted. I looked online for assistance and came across YouCanDoProbate. Their website and customer reviews convinced myself and my sister that this would be a good option to finalise everything. We had saved a lot of money by not using solicitors so £499 to ensure everything was accurate would be money well spent. The platform is brilliant, it guides you through every element and you cannot move on until it is completed so removes any risk of errors. It takes you through every step required to complete the Probate application and the completed form is ready for you to download, print and send off. Without a doubt the best decision made in managing my Dad’s Estate and money well spent. Highly recommend YouCanDoProbate to anyone undertaking the role of Executorship.

Throughout the process

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.

I can truly recommend YouCanDoProbate for an Estate that falls below the IHT threshold. The portal is excellent and easy to use and walks you through the process brilliantly. The support is also excellent with special mention for Tom. Many thanks to all

You Really Can Do Probate Yourself !

After receiving a very expensive quote from a local solicitors I found this website and as an administrator myself thought how hard can this be. I read the reviews and watched the video before I purchased to make sure it was right for me. I followed the on-line steps and filled in the questions so a little bit of time and effort is required. I had 2 x queries which were dealt with within the hour once on the phone and once by email. Once the forms were complete, I printed off and posted to HMCTS Probate. I had an email from them confirming receipt on 19th June and I received an email yesterday 26th June telling me Probate had been granted so this website has done exactly what I needed it to do.
