My Probate Partner

Too good to be true? Weighing up the real value of non-traditional probate guidance.

Research from My Probate Partner shows most Scots don’t fully understand probate, with 90% underestimating solicitor fees, often expecting under £1,000 when £5,000+ is common. Faced with this, many executors look for cheaper options but worry about trust.
The reality? Solicitors and an online service like ours aren’t offering the same thing. Solicitors handle everything – from forms to contacting banks, but often charge 1–5% of the estate’s value and can take over a year. Our service, by contrast, supports you to do it yourself, guaranteeing success with the Court Confirmation process for a fraction of the cost and without long delays.

While solicitors are essential for complex estates, most Scottish cases don’t require them (we'll let you know if you do). For the majority, affordable online probate guidance is the ideal middle ground, keeping you in control, saving thousands, and avoiding the stress of going it alone.

My Probate Partner is the middle-ground solution.

Traditionally, probate in Scotland meant using a lawyer, paying high fees, and enduring delays. Much of what you’re charged for is routine legwork – form-filling, chasing banks, tasks that don’t need legal expertise.
Doing it alone can be overwhelming. The Sheriff Court process isn’t designed to guide you, and many people give up after repeated rejections without explanation.
We give you the perfect balance between doing probate yourself and hiring a lawyer. You stay in control while we provide expert support to reduce stress, save time, and cut costs, often by thousands of pounds.

Our service works for around 90% of cases, helping you get your Grant of Confirmation approved the first time. You set the pace, we help you avoid the pitfalls, all for a fraction of a lawyer’s fees and with a guarantee of success or your money back.
