Deaths
Probate
When someone dies you may need a grant of representation (Probate) to enable you to gain access to and deal with the estate of the deceased. If you do, or think you might, then:
You should either contact a solicitor who will arrange this for you (you will find local firms of Solicitors in Yellow Pages)
or
you can do it yourself
If you want to Do It Yourself, please telephone for information, forms and guidance:
the Probate & Inheritance Tax Help-line
0845 3020 900
Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm
(calls to this number are
charged at local rate)
