  • resolving a family dispute or issues relating to a will
  • obtaining the probate value of an estate
  • the claiming of inheritance tax relief (nil rate band)
  • historical research
  • any official legal purpose

Customers wishing to make their own search in person, can do so by visiting an appropriate probate registry. The cost of obtaining a probate record independently and in person from H.M. Government will be less than using our service. For probate registry contact details, please see GOV.UK Court and Tribunal Finder.
