Applying for Probate
I’m hoping someone here will be able to help me understand a few things about applying for probate on behalf of my Dad. I’ll try to be as succinct as possible but this may end up being a bit long winded.

Mobile and Wifi Providers
HELLO! My father died recently and we had very little time to talk to him about his affairs. Looking through his bank statements, we've discovered that he was paying Three for Wifi even though the contract came to an end in 2022. They say that unless he cancels, then the contract carries on. We also have a payment of over…

Probate delays and risk of losing property sale - any remedy?
Hi, we applied for probate for mum's estate (second death) in early August. In Sept they requested additional info which we submitted on Sept 26th.

Inheritance tax - works of art
My mum sadly passed away in April and I am filling out the IHT forms as some will be due on the estate. My mum was a very keen non-professional painter and had a lot of her own original paintings in her house.

IS THE FIRM PURE CREMATION TRUSTWORTHY?
You may have seen this firm's irritating ads on TV. I don't watch much TV, but when I do I have to put up with their repeated ads.
