Leicestershire Start-up Listed in MoneySavingExpert's National Probate Guide, Helping Bereaved Families Avoid Thousands in Solicitor Fees

Online Wills and Probate, a Leicestershire-based business built to make estate administration affordable for bereaved families, has been listed in MoneySavingExpert's national probate guide for their innovative new probate platform. 

Every year, thousands of bereaved families pay thousands of pounds in solicitor fees to manage probate, often without knowing they have a choice. Online Wills and Probate was founded to change that. The company's new digital DIY Probate Portal guides families through every stage of the probate process, with expert support available throughout, at a fraction of the cost of traditional solicitor-led probate.

Now the Leicestershire-based business has earned a significant vote of confidence: a listing in MoneySavingExpert's national guide to probate. One of the most widely read and trusted consumer finance resources in the UK, the guide features only a small number of vetted providers, placing Online Wills and Probate alongside other household names.

For a founder-led start-up taking on a sector long dominated by expensive professional firms, the recognition carries particular weight. The listing gives bereaved families searching for help with probate through MoneySavingExpert a trusted, affordable alternative at the moment they need it most.

"Being listed in MoneySavingExpert's probate guide is something we're enormously proud of. It tells families that what we've built genuinely works, and that it stands up alongside much larger, more established names. Probate costs are one of the hidden financial shocks that bereaved families face and most people don't know how much they'll pay, and many don't know they have a choice. This listing means we can reach them at exactly the right moment." - Jane Morris-Rowlinson, Founder Online Wills and Probate.

Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a person who has died. It is required in most cases where the deceased owned property or held assets in their own name. While it is possible to manage the process without a solicitor, many families are unaware of this, and the cost of not knowing can run to several thousand pounds.

Online Wills and Probate's DIY Probate Portal covers everything from gathering estate information and valuing the estate to submitting application for probate or letters of administration, with clear guidance and expert support at every stage. It also includes downloaded templates, checklists to track progress and spreadsheets for executor account keeping.

MoneySavingExpert readers can access the Online Probate portal at a preferential rate via Their Probate Guide, which explains the process, the costs involved, and how families can manage it affordably.
