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
  • IHT402: Claim to transfer unused nil rate band from a late spouse or civil partner
  • IHT403: Gifts and other transfers of value
  • IHT404: Jointly owned assets
  • IHT405: Houses, land, buildings and interests in land
  • IHT406: Bank and building society accounts

  • IHT408: Household and personal goods donated to charity
  • IHT409: Pensions
  • IHT410: Life assurance and annuities
  • IHT411: Listed stocks and shares
  • IHT412: Unlisted stocks and shares, and control holdings
  • IHT415: Interest in another estate
  • IHT416: Debts due to the estate
  • IHT417: Foreign assets
  • IHT419: Debts owed by the deceased
  • IHT423: Direct Payment Scheme bank or building society account

Highly recommend this company

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

Easy step by step process

I was so happy I found YouCanDoProbate. I did not even know where to start with this process but as soon as you register with them on line (and pay the fee) it guides you through step by step. You then just print off the the forms and send them off. It made a complicated system really simple for us.

I would highly recommend…

I would highly recommend YouCanDoProbate. I had originally been quoted thousands by the Co-op legal team. It was an extortionate amount, and I thought “Is it really that difficult?” After Googling I came across YouCanDoProbate and read the reviews. At first I thought “What’s the catch?” I did more research to check out the company more, and indeed everything looked genuine, because it is! I signed up, and simply followed all the sections. The web layout/dashboard is very clear and user friendly. Keen to make sure I was accurate in my thinking, I did use the e mail questioning a couple of times. The responses were very quick and thorough, explaining everything clearly and in simple terms. At the end, all forms are generated ready to print. Having spoken to friends who had lost parents recently, they have said all the information they had to provide to a solicitor was the same as I simply had to tap in. They paid the thousands I had been quoted. You can obviously do all this independently, and simply fill in forms yourself, without using YouCanDoProbate even. But if you are like me thinking “Can I do this? What happens if I get it wrong?” Then YouCanDoProbate gives you the easy web layout, all the calculation functions and the ease of a form completed. This service took the fear out of the process as I didn’t feel alone with no support. I also feel proud of myself that I have managed to achieved this without being ripped off by legal companies who want to take a percentage of the estate. Once submitted, my application was processed within 3 weeks, it flew through, which proves it must have been accurate. I would definitely recommend and use again if I ever needed to complete probate in the future.

I can recommend this site.

The set was easy to access and user friendly. It was good to be able to go in and out of the site to input data as it became available. The phone line was an additional help to guide me through.

Cost effective and comprehensive system

The YouCanDoProbate system is very cost effective, comprehensive and relatively easy to use. Most of the steps through filling in the inheritance tax forms and the probate application are straightforward. Any queries can be raised and are quickly and professionally dealt with. So glad I chose this route as opposed to using a solicitor.
