About this service

Support for executors and families

Dealing with a property during probate can be a long and emotional process. We take the practical weight off your shoulders, working carefully and to a timescale that suits the estate.

We can work to the instructions of the legally authorised person managing the property, communicate directly with solicitors, executors and estate agents, and collect keys by arrangement.

We do not provide legal, probate or valuation advice. Where documents, photographs or items of potential value are found, we set them aside so the appropriate person can review them.
