Question of 3
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.
Many families don't have all the information straight away — that's completely normal. A quick chat with a specialist can help you understand what applies to your situation.

Merstow Green Funeral Home has been proudly serving the community of Evesham and the surrounding areas of Worcestershire since 2008. Located at 20 Merstow Green in Evesham, the funeral home is led by Principal Funeral Director Philip Tomlins, who has worked as a funeral director in Evesham since 1987. His longstanding commitment to quality of service, value for money, and meeting all client needs continues to define the ethos of the business.
The dedicated team at Merstow Green Funeral Home is committed to creating tailored funerals that reflect the unique life of each loved one. Funeral Directors Kevin Bowen, Martyn Jeynes, and Nicola Michaela joined the team in 2015, 2021, and 2024 respectively, and together with Philip they strive to provide the highest levels of bereavement care. The team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can also arrange home visits for families who prefer it.
Merstow Green Funeral Home is proud to be a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), adhering to their strict codes of practice to ensure the best standards of care and attention. The funeral home offers a wide range of services including cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations, and repatriation. They also offer the Choice prepaid funeral plan, allowing families to arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.
"The service felt personal and just right for Mum, which meant a great deal to all of us. They made a very difficult time that bit easier and helped us give Mum the farewell she deserved. I'll always be grateful for their kindness and support."
— Pip Wallace
"He took care of everything so compassionately right from the start. It was a weight off our minds. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and caring. His suggestion of Vicar, flowers and coffin were a perfect choice."
— Justine (about Kevin Bowen)
"Patient, considerate, and utterly committed to ensuring that the wishes of the family were met at every stage - as well as gently guiding us through the entire process following what was a sudden loss. I cannot thank them enough."
— Jean Fowler
"Everything was handled with such dignity and respect, and we are deeply grateful for the support you gave our family. It was a beautiful farewell for Mum, and we know she would have appreciated the way everything was carried out."
— Elaine Smith (about Kevin)
"A massive thank you to Kevin and team, they helped me organise my fathers cremation as I was the other side of the world and could not return. The service they gave was exemplary in these difficult times, nothing was too much trouble. Words cannot express the gratitude."
— Steve Lampitt (about Kevin)
"Carol Phillips and the rest of her team immediately became honorary members of our family - cups of tea, tissues and a reassuring word. But they also understood us, they were there when we needed them and they knew what would be 'just right'. If I had to pick just three words it would be kindness, compassion and professionalism."
— Adele Wright (about Carol Phillips)
