Did the person who died own a property?
Including any property in their name, even if jointly owned.
Were there savings, investments, or other assets?
Bank accounts, shares, pensions, or valuables above a few thousand pounds.
Was there a will?
Even if you're not sure where it is, knowing one exists can change the process.

Fosters Funeral Care in Dunfermline provided exceptional kindness and support during a very difficult time for our family. They managed every aspect of the arrangements with great care, professionalism, and respect, which made an incredibly difficult time much easier for us. The staff were compassionate, understanding, and kept us fully informed throughout the entire process. Lynne, in particular, was outstanding — consistently patient, considerate, and supportive from beginning to end. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her kindness and professionalism meant a great deal to our family. They gave our loved one a beautiful and dignified farewell, and we are sincerely grateful for everything they did. I would highly recommend Fosters Funeral Care to anyone seeking a funeral director who provides truly compassionate and professional service.

We lost our Mum and the service Lynne and Fosters provided was excellent. I was overseas and my Sister in Scotland but Lynne did a superb job managing the situation. Diligent attention to detail and specifically, the order of service was wonderful. Can't express our gratitude enough, and we would highly recommend them.
