Would I get any benefit from a solicitor to arrange probate?

did my mother's estate as sole executor two years ago. Definitely do it yourself if possible as probably slower than paying a professional.

you sound very competent Hopefully once you send the iht 400 in the code for online probate application will arrive after about 4 weeks and then probate granted within two weeks of making the application online and sending the Will in.

it's much QUICKER to do it yourself than pay a professional.
