About My Probate Partner

Written by the company

My Probate Partner is a guided DIY probate service for Executors in Scotland. We help people apply for Confirmation accurately and with confidence, without the cost of using a solicitor.

You stay in control as Executor while we handle the technical side of the process, preparing or reviewing the Court and tax forms to the strict standards required by the Sheriff Court and HMRC. Our experienced team, which includes specialists with deep knowledge of Scottish executry practice provides clear guidance every step of the way.

Our service is fully remote and fixed-price. After you share the estate information through our secure online portal, we prepare a court-ready application pack for printing and signing. Most applications are ready within one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the estate and how quickly the information is provided. We offer a money-back guarantee that your application will be accepted by the Court.

We support most types of estates, including no-Will cases, property, legal rights, claiming tax exemptions, and Executors who simply want reassurance that everything has been completed correctly. For situations that genuinely need a solicitor, we can refer you to trusted firms.

Our goal is to make the probate process clearer, faster, and less stressful, helping every Executor feel confident from start to finish.

Money Back Guarantee

We guarantee a successful result with the Court

We are so confident your application will be accepted that we offer a money-back guarantee if we cannot help you get your application through the Court. If the Sheriff Court identifies any technical issues with the paperwork, we will work with you to correct them promptly and resubmit at no extra cost. In the unlikely event that a technical issue means the application cannot be approved after we have attempted to fix it, we will refund your fee in full. The guarantee covers the accuracy and completeness of the forms we prepare or review, giving you reassurance that the application you submit meets the Court’s strict requirements.

My Probate Partner is an excellent…

My Probate Partner is an excellent company. Having previously consulted a solicitor, I had paid hundreds of pounds and was no further forward in my confirmation application. The confirmation process makes it virtually impossible for individuals to apply without legal help. Thankfully for my wallet, the fixed price, offered by MPP was very reassuring. I was given everything I needed to obtain confirmation. The communications I received from Lucy were clear cut, transparent, friendly and very knowledgeable. I am a natural worrier, and Lucy was able to deal with each and all of my MANY queries. It gave me great peace of mind. I handed the application in to the Sheriff Court and heard the very next day that it had been approved! I was astonished.
It has been a pleasure to work with MPP.
Other companies would do well to learn from their business practices. If you are in the position of dealing with an estate, at a very difficult time, I strongly recommend My Probate Partner, to walk you through the process at your own pace.
My Thanks again to the team at MPP.

They make the process so much easier

I contacted this company to enquire about obtaining a Grant of confirmation as Solicitors were asking around double the price they were so I purchased the enhanced service and from start to finish they kept in touch and gave me great advice and filled in all the legal requirements requested on the forms for me and as a result my application to the court for grant of confirmation was successful.
I highly recommend this company.

Fantastic service

Having had several court rejections for a variety of reasons, Myprobate took all of the available information, scrutinised, reformatted, and my next submission was passed by the court. They were on hand to answer any questions and very professional throughout. Can't recommend this service highly enough.

Length of time it took some solicitors

A dislike of the cost of getting probate through a solicitor. Hearing of the length of time solicitors took to finalise it.Reading an article that it could be done with assistance, after all, you have to collect all necessary information yourself anyway, whether through solicitor or not. An introductory phone call at home, help every step of the way and advice on how it was formatted, made this way of getting probate completed with feelings of relief at a bad time.

This was an easy experience and so pleased I did this through Probate Partner.

If anyone is skeptical about doing this I urge you to go a head . I was really worried about paper work etc but the prices solicitors had quoted were outrageously expensive which made me search for an alternative. Thank you probate partner you have been so supportive and I now have confirmation after 12 weeks. They guide you through everything but I would go for the best package they offer. DO IT!

make a difficult process very easy

Start with a phone call with straight forward easy to understand advice and then you can decide if you want to use My Probate Partner. At a very difficult time this is the type of service you need. It is explained that you can use a solicitor if you prefer but the fixed price with access to help along the way worked very well for me. The documents are completed and provided with detailed instruction of how and what to provide for the court. Then further instructions/advice once the court have returned the Certificate of Confirmation. This company were recommended to me and I would definitely recommend them also.

I cannot tell you how happy and grateful I am to have found this company. From the initial phone consultation to obtaining the Certificate of Confirmation from the Sheriff Court these guys are with you all the way! They save you so much time and stress from start to finish at what can be a very difficult time. Each step is straight forward and easy to navigate in what can be a daunting experience for many. It took in total only 12 weeks (including the christmas period) for me to obtain the Certificate of Confirmation for my late uncle, which is truly amazing considering most solicitors can take over a year and many thousands of pounds. I would not hesitate to recommend My Probate Partner and have already done so to friends and family. Thank you so much again for everything!

Listen to MPP's advice, you won't be sorry.

Our first amateur attempt at applying for Confirmation failed miserably and the local Sheriffs Office returned our documents with the advice to seek legal help from a Solicitor. The timing was bad as our own Solicitor had recently retired. We had read My Probate Partner excellent and comprehensive online description of their services and were impressed so we made the decision to contact them immediately. It was easy from that time onwards.

Probate Partner is truly your Expert Partner!

I'm so glad I contacted My Probate Partner. I am an executor of my Auntie's estate, which was fairly straightforward. However without their input, guidance and expert advice, I doubt all would have gone as smoothly as it did. I chose the Enhanced Package, so after uploading the necessary documents and relevent information, they completed the forms, covering letter, supplied all relevant information in PDF format and it was plain sailing from there to Confirmation (Scotland). No issues whatsoever with Sheriff Court because the form was completed by these experts. I would definitely recommend to anyone who finds themselves in an executor role, when the estate is fairly straightforward. The tricky bit is the wording etc on these forms and courts are highly particular so unless it's completely to their standards, it will ultimately be rejected and you have to start all over again. It's a difficult enough time, without dealing with all the beurocracy. Head straight to My Probate Partner because you truly have an expert partner guiding you all the way. They are so polite and helpful, I'm just so glad I did! Thank you Probate Partner!
