THE SITUATION YOU’RE IN
Two hard choices. Until now.
Most people applying for probate face the same decision. Pay a solicitor thousands and wait months, or try to navigate the government forms alone and risk getting it wrong. Neither option feels right.
Pay a solicitor
£1,500 to £10,000 or more for a standard estate, sometimes a percentage of the estate on top. Six to eighteen months is typical. And you still have to gather all the estate information yourself.
Go it alone via GOV.UK
The forms are free but you have to identify the right ones, complete all the calculations yourself, work out which exemptions apply and submit without anyone checking your work first.
YouCanDoProbate
£499. Enter your estate details into the platform. It completes every form, does every calculation and applies every exemption automatically. Unlimited expert support included throughout.
Whether you use a solicitor or the platform, the estate information always comes from you. The only question is who does the technical work with it, and what that costs.

Let the platform do the hard part
YouCanDoProbate applies any available exemptions, calculates the full position of the estate, and works out whether any inheritance tax is due. You don’t need to understand the rules. We handle them for you.

Get your completed forms
The platform knows exactly which forms you need. It generates your completed probate forms, along with any inheritance tax forms required, ready to print and sign.

Saved thousands
“My wife and I are sensible, educated and technical people but the probate system via the HMRC and GOV.UK websites just left us confused. YouCanDoProbate has really been the best money spent. The step by step process completes all the forms you require and the general hand-holding is excellent.”
