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.

You probably don't need to pay for the funeral yourself
The estate will likely go through probate, which means the funeral costs can be paid from the estate. You need a probate specialist to make this happen.
Sail Probate · Fixed fees, nothing upfront
Probate might not be needed
That means the funeral costs probably can't be covered this way. But every situation is different — a quick chat can confirm.
We need a bit more info

— Ruth Barros (about Roxanna)
"Katrina was so good in talking us through everything and making sure that mum was brought to the funeral home to be looked after rather than being left at the HRI morgue. Katrina and Jayden really went above and beyond to ensure the day was one that mum would have liked."
— Kate Pickering (about Katrina)
"Losing my dad within six months after losing my mum was heartbreaking enough, but Helen once again gave everything possible to make it as easy and trouble free. Thank you so so much Helen, you are truly one in a million."
— Pam Gee (about Helen)
"It was like having a best friend guide you through it. Emma was amazing arranging my dad's - nothing was too much trouble, she was so lovely, calm and reassuring. Some special little touches just made it personal to dad."

From the fist phone call I had with Jayden, I couldn’t be more impressed with the service we received. Katrina met with us and went through everything in great detail. All our options were explained fully and any requests we had were accommodated fully. Due to an inquest we had to wait for certain things but Katrina was so good in talking us through everything and making sure that mum was brought to the funeral home to be looked after rather than being left at the HRI morgue. The funeral was everything we had hoped for and we cannot express our appreciation enough for this. Jayden directed the funeral and was so caring and professional throughout the day. At such a difficult time we are so grateful for all the help and support from the whole team but Katrina and Jayden really went above and beyond to ensure the day was one that mum would have liked. Thank you all so much.

Everyone at Slaithwaite Funeral Services was so friendly, professional and sensitive. We did not feel pressured at any point and they acknowledged our wishes - even those we sent at the last minute - and were totally empathetic and understanding. Jyden listened to everything we said and was so patient with us and Roxanna spoke beautifully at the funeral, capturing the essence of my brother's fiery and energetic personality. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for funeral services.
