Grant of Probate
Having started the probate via HMRC online thinking it would straightforward. I waited quite a lot of weeks for info from HMRC.
In the end I decided to engage with Tozers in Exeter to help me. Thankfully Matt was available to help me and while process was much faster. I was relieved to receive the Grant so quickly.
I would recommend Matt, he is kind and very knowledgable.
