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.
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.

G Saville and Son Ltd has been serving the community since 1875, when the Saville family founded the business in Southwark. The Kenton, Harrow branch is part of this long-established, independent, family-run funeral directing firm, originally trading as L.J. Butler & Son Ltd before being acquired by G Saville and Son. With a history spanning nearly 150 years, the business has been managed by successive generations of the Saville family, bringing continuity, expertise, and a deeply personal approach to funeral care.
The Kenton office is overseen by Manager Mr Lee Cook, working under the direction of Adrian Saville, who has over 35 years of experience in the profession. Adrian holds the National Association of Funeral Directors Diploma and is a fully qualified, licensed Funeral Director with the British Institute of Funeral Directors.
G Saville and Son offers a comprehensive range of funeral services, including all paperwork, coffins and caskets, vehicles, flowers, catering, repatriation, and pre-payment plans. The team embraces funerals of all sizes, religions, and cultures, reflecting the diverse communities they serve in Harrow and the surrounding areas. A 24-hour telephone assistance service is available outside of regular office hours.
"A small family-run business that gives a personal, sympathetic service and practical advice through a very difficult time. No hard sell here. The funeral was very professionally handled without fuss or drama. Debbie, the prime contact, was a star."
— Gerald Hawkins (about Debbie)
"Living in Lincolnshire trying to organise a funeral in the Harrow area was never going to be easy, but Lee the general manager was superb. Not expected, but he would respond to my emails in the evening, always came back to us promptly and guided us through everything superbly. I am sure you wouldn't get the service we received from more well-known national companies."
— Richard Sinclair (about Lee)
"You guided me every step of the way when organising my Late Father's Funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and your kind, professional support has meant so much to me and my family. Lee was wonderful today when guiding the boys and all our wishes were carried out perfectly, with the utmost compassion and respect."
— Jacinta Jones (about Lee, Debbie)
"No upsell, no pressure — just compassion and kindness from the first call to the final goodbye. Lee is highly experienced and instantly knew the answer to my every question, guiding me to the best possible outcome for my unique situation. I recommend this company as the only choice for an undertaker in North and West London."
— Bill Franklyn (about Lee)
"The words THANK YOU are not enough to tell how much we appreciate the hard work you put in. This most difficult time in our lives was made less painful due to the duty of care you showed to our beloved mum and to the whole family. The only reason I am giving your company a 5 star review is because the option of a 10 star review is not available."
— paola cala (about Lee, Debbie)
"Debbie is a truly kind and caring person who brought great comfort to our family throughout the whole process. She talked me through everything with such patience, warmth, and genuine empathy. It is well worth going to an independent, traditional company like this — Debbie gave me the time to talk, listened carefully, and drew on her wealth of experience to guide me with dignity, kindness, and genuine care. That meant a great deal to me and all of the family."
— MJ JAR (about Debbie)
