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.

"A deeply and touching funeral done with style and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble for them, absolutely amazing staff."
— Jack Corrigan
"Ben was very professional and also very caring, nothing was too much trouble for him. He is a credit to his profession and to Oxley's. Thank you all for making a difficult time so much easier."
— Mick Bavington (about Ben)
"Kaye was extremely supportive each step of the way and ensured everything was done exactly how I requested. I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism and care provided to me by the staff at Oxley's."
— Paula Desmond (about Kaye)
"From start to finish the level of service was beautiful. Oxleys did everything they could to make the day special for mum. I can't express enough how kind they are."
— Karen Bailey
"I could never possibly put into words how grateful I am to all of the wonderful staff at Oxleys. My sister had a broken ankle and was in a wheelchair - they were so helpful and caring, nothing was too much trouble! I will remember the kindness she showed us, always."
— Roxane Mooney (about Sarah)
"Sadly we lost our Mum on 21.12.19 to terminal cancer and Dad on 01.02.20 to heart failure - exactly 6 weeks to the day apart! I really didn't know how I was going to cope dealing with such a massive loss to our family but the kindness and compassion that was shown to us by the lovely Sarah, Tony and the amazing drivers made everything that little bit easier! She has a truly magical way with words and everyone that I have spoken to has said it was the best service they have ever been to. Thankyou so much for taking such great care of the two most important people in my life."
— Roxane Mooney (about Sarah)
