A Leicestershire-based company, Online Wills and Probate, has recently been listed in MoneySavingExpert’s national probate guide for their innovative new probate platform. The company aims to make estate administration more affordable for bereaved families.
According to the company’s founder, Jane Morris-Rowlinson, many families are not aware that they have a choice when it comes to managing probate and end up paying thousands of pounds in solicitor fees. Online Wills and Probate’s digital DIY Probate Portal offers expert support and guidance at a fraction of the cost of traditional solicitor-led probate.
The company’s listing in MoneySavingExpert’s probate guide is a significant achievement for the start-up, as it is competing with well-established and expensive professional firms. The recognition gives bereaved families a trusted and affordable alternative while going through the probate process.
Morris-Rowlinson expressed her pride in being listed in MoneySavingExpert’s guide and stated that it shows that their platform is effective and can compete with larger names. She also highlighted the importance of providing an affordable option for families facing the hidden financial shock of probate costs.
For those unfamiliar with probate, it is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. It is required in most cases where the deceased owned property or held assets in their own name. Online Wills and Probate’s DIY Probate Portal offers a comprehensive solution, including estate information gathering, estate valuation, and application for probate or letters of administration. The platform also provides downloadable templates, checklists, and spreadsheets for executor account keeping.
MoneySavingExpert readers can access the Online Probate portal at a preferential rate through their Probate Guide, which provides information on the probate process, associated costs, and affordable management options for families.
