Probate Without Panic – Or The Price Tag

How The Finance Zone Helps Families Take Control of Probate – Without the Stress or Stupid Fees

Let’s be honest—probate is a nightmare.

It’s slow. It’s packed with jargon. And just when you think it’s sorted, HMRC pops up with more forms and tax demands.

Some people go DIY. Others pay a solicitor a fortune.
Both routes are loaded with problems.

That’s where we step in.


⚖️ What Is Probate Anyway?

Probate is the legal process of dealing with someone’s money, property, and belongings after they’ve died.

If there’s a will, it’s called grant of probate.
If there’s no will, you’ll need letters of administration.

Either way, you’ve got a job to do:
✅ Value everything
✅ Pay debts and taxes
✅ Hand out what’s left to the right people

Sounds easy. It’s not.
It involves legal paperwork, deadlines, and pressure—from banks, utility firms, the probate office, and HMRC.


⚠️ Why DIY Probate Can Go Wrong

Doing probate yourself sounds cheap—but it’s risky.
Here’s what usually goes wrong:

  • ❌ Forms filled in wrong or late
  • ❌ Assets valued incorrectly
  • ❌ Taxes miscalculated
  • ❌ Debts missed
  • ❌ Family fallouts from mistakes
  • ❌ Time and stress you didn’t plan for

You can even end up personally liable if you make errors.


💸 And Then There’s the Lawyer Route…

Traditional solicitors charge between £5,000 and £14,000—often based on a percentage of the estate.

That means you could pay £9,000 to hand over paperwork you could fill in yourself.

Worse, many won’t speak to you after 5pm, and you’ll get passed around a team who barely knows your name.
