Sorry for your loss.

I've done three probates now. Once you get started they are quite straightforward. The most important thing is not to rush any disbursements. Give it a week or two and you might feel differently.

My sincere condolences. I'll leave it as that as there are no words...

Personally I haven't however I believe my father has used such a service and I am seeing him this evening and will ask for his feedback for you. Not much help I know but it might be something...

Probate

Sadly my mother has passed away and I will be handling Probate.

She doesn't have any property, just some savings and premium bonds. As far as I know she didn't leave a will (although I'm performing a search for any registered will she might have left)

Has anyone here used a fixed price/fee probate service to handle this? I looked into doing my self, but I can't honestly face doing all the paperwork and court stuff.

Don't want to just appoint a solicitor on an hourly fee basis (how does £300/hr sound?), heard too many horror stories....Probate: The £600m RIP-off | Money | The Guardian

Thanks all
