Things to gather together before your consultation

Before your consultation call with a member of our probate team, please gather together as much as you can from this list of information and documents.

If you don’t have everything, that’s ok. And not everything here may be relevant. But having as much as possible on hand during the call should mean we apply for probate sooner.

or you can keep track of your progress on this web page

For example, children, parents or siblings

The will and death certificate
