What Forms Does YouCanDoProbate Complete?

YouCanDoProbate completes every Probate and Inheritance Tax form required for your application, automatically, from the answers you provide in the platform walkthrough.

Probate application forms

  • PA1P: the Grant of Probate application form (where the deceased left a valid Will)
  • PA1A: the Letters of Administration application form (where there is no valid Will)
  • PA14: Medical certificate, where an Executor is unable to act because they lack mental capacity
  • PA15: Giving up the right to be an Executor (renunciation), where an Executor chooses not to act

IHT400 Inheritance Tax Account

Where the estate is not an excepted estate, the main IHT400 form is completed in full, covering the estate valuation, exemptions, reliefs, and tax calculation.

IHT400 supplementary schedules

The platform determines which schedules apply and completes them alongside the IHT400. These can include:

  • IHT400 Calculation: working out the Inheritance Tax due, where tax is payable

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.

You will not regret using YouCanDoProbate

I cannot say enough by way of thanks to this company. I was helped numerous times either by email or by booking a ‘call back’ and nothing seemed too much trouble. I could not have completed this application for probate without their assistance that’s for sure. What they say is so true – you have to supply a Solicitor with the information they need to complete the application so why not use YouCanDoProbate for a fraction of the Solicitor’s cost and do it yourself! All the information you supply is automatically put onto the application form so no writing involved. A massive thank you to Tom for all your help and patience!

When the solicitors quoted me £9,000 I decided to look for help elsewhere. I’m so glad I did as this company was brilliant and was a great help when I called them when I got a bit stuck with a question. Definitely highly recommend and this saved me a great deal of money.!

Solicitors wanted to charge me between £2300 and £2700! They made it sound very complicated. I contacted this firm who offered a fixed fee of £500. Their online platform was easy to follow. When I ran into a couple of things I wasn’t sure of I called their helpline. They guided me through those areas and it was all sorted and posted off the same day. The solicitors had quoted me six to twelve months to get the Grant. I’ve just received it in six weeks! I don’t normally bother with writing reviews but felt I had to with this firm. They were superb. I’m just coming up to eighty and hate form filling. If I can do it , anyone can. Excellent.

My mother died in March this year and I now have an IHT421 AND Probate. Very happy with the process and occasional need to call for guidance. Callbacks were always prompt and informed. The idea of having a named case worker is as particularly helpful.

YCDP asked all the right questions.

YCDP asked all the right questions, it was fairly easy to complete. I spent about 2 months preparing the application, getting valuations etc. Probate was approved in 3 weeks from posting the application.
