About

Built for people doing this once, in the worst week of their life

Probate is not complicated because the law is unknowable. It is complicated because nobody explains it in order, in plain words, at the moment you need it.

What we believe

  • Most straightforward estates do not need a solicitor, and people should be told that plainly.
  • Some estates absolutely do need a solicitor, and people should be told that even faster.
  • A grieving person should never have to guess what a form is asking.
  • Price should be one number, published, with nothing added later.
  • A tool that quietly lets someone make a costly mistake has failed, even if it made a sale.

The limits we set on ourselves

We do not give legal or tax advice, we do not act as your representative, and we do not submit anything on your behalf. Those limits are not a disclaimer bolted on at the end — they shape how every page here is written.

They also mean we are not a regulated legal service. Read the regulatory information so you know exactly what protection you do and do not have.

How we keep information current

Fees, tax thresholds and official links are held in one place and reviewed on a set schedule, with the review date shown next to the figure. Where a number matters, we tell you when we last checked it and send you to the official source.
