Initial Assessment
On initial contact, one of our expert advisers will conduct a telephone interview to offer guidance on the suitability of the options available.
If the estate is complicated we would recommend that you use a solicitor. For straight forward, simple estates, you might want to have a go yourself, or it may be that you don’t feel confidant enough to go it alone and would like us to assist you.
How it works
Our Citizens Probate Assistance is designed to help and guide you through a
