Did the person who died own a property?
Including any property in their name, even if jointly owned.

Was there a will?
Even if you're not sure where it is, knowing one exists can change the process.
This can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure it out alone. A probate specialist can walk you through the next steps — no obligation, no pressure.
That's one less thing to worry about. If anything changes or you'd like a quick confirmation, a specialist can put your mind at rest.

Faultless service. Ellie was amazing, fast, accurate and considerate. Stephen called me the day before the funeral so I had a full understanding of what would happen. He accommodated the special requests I had very well and all the team was briefed. Charlie drove impeccably and respectfully and showed us how to carry the coffin correctly. Outstanding from start to finish.

From start to finish the support of Ellie and E Sargents was so good at such a dark time . She helped us navigate something we never wished to have to do for our son. Nothing was too much trouble for her to help with. At such a devastating time. She was so empathetic and professional. She made it as easy as possible for us

During the most difficult time of my life, the team at E Sargeant & Son, Slough provided care, dignity, and genuine compassion that I will never forget. From the moment they received my partner, James, they treated him with the utmost respect and handled every detail with sensitivity and professionalism. I would like to especially thank Abbie, Ellie and Charlie. They guided us gently through each step of the process, never rushing, always listening, and making sure we felt supported. Their kindness made an unbearable time a little more manageable, and I’m deeply grateful for their patience and the comfort they offered. I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you for everything.

As a family, my brother and I were recommended E Sargeant & Son Funeral Directors. From our very first telephone conversation and meeting, we realised that we had made the right decision. It is an understatement to say they could not do enough for us and dealt with our Mum and her funeral perfectly. They were very polite, understanding, professional and let us go at our pace, advising us all the way. Of note Ellie, Abbie and Stephen were amazing, their presence, communication and personal skills were of the highest standard. Thank you so much for helping us as a family to deal with the passing of our loved mum and making as a painless process as possible in our time of grief. I can't recommend this company enough.
