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.

Really worth using

Really worth using. Having failed with my own attempt to gain Confirmation I signed up to My Probate Partner and followed the detailed advice given. They checked over the application and corrected some errors and provided a cover letter to go with the application. This time I had no problems. A great service.

Confirmation of Estate

It was reassuring to have the guarantee of the application being accepted. I may have been able to fill in the document myself, with a lot of Internet research, but it was good to have the documents 'pre-checked' for peace of mind.
Quick response to any queries.

Professional Service.

A very professional and helpful group of people.
They asked me all the relevant questions and they then filled in the appropriate paperwork for submission to the Sheriff Court for Confirmation. This only took them two to three days to complete and this passed through the Court at the first attempt.
Looking at how the paperwork was completed, I can safely say that I would have been unsuccessful without their assistance. They clearly have the skills required to navigate people through this archaic and frustrating system.

Exceptional Service

Mike and his team provided an exceptional service with regard to helping me obtain the Grant of Confirmation. Although I encountered a number of legal issues along the way, these were resolved satisfactorily and in a timely manner. I could not have achieved this outcome without all their help and certainly not for the fees I paid. The information exchanged by email and phone was clear, concise and easy to understand. The information displayed on the website is equally helpful and informative. I can highly recommend this service to anyone who feels they wish to undertake the Grant of Confirmation application process without a solicitor.

Perfect service!

Company did exactly what they promised in the time they said they would. All I had to do was sign and annotate the documents exactly as they described and submit to the court. Confirmation (probate) from the court arrived a few days later.

Excellent - worth every penny!

The service I received was professional, friendly, fast and (most important of all) effective. I had previously made three unsuccessful confirmation applications. Following advice and support from My Probate Partner, Confirmation was granted within a week and the Commissary staff even commented on how good the application was.

Very professional and easy to deal with, whether by phone or email.

The guides and explanations of the process were easy to follow, clear and have me confidence that what I was submitting was compliant, received some feedback from the team on a few minor points (local knowledge of a specific Sheriff's office) and my confirmation was processed by the Sheriff's office within 2 weeks, no queries.

I 100% recommend My Probate Partner!

I 100% recommend My Probate Partner. I chose them after trawling through many websites and footnotes about how to do Probate/Confirmation myself, reports of the Scottish system routinely rejecting applications without explanation, and solicitors charging a fortune to do the same work. My Probate Partner got my application approved first time -- from the start they were incredibly easy to deal with, the initial online form to complete was completely user-friendly and straightforward; subsequent communications were brilliant, timely, efficient, respectful -- they were also very thorough about checking certain aspects of the estate/application that might have been rejected in Court, to ensure all was in the best shape possible prior to applying. I dealt with Sharon mainly who was wonderful. This company really is filling a major gap in the Scottish legal system and they honestly could charge more for their expertise and the great work they do! Please do not hesitate to use this company if you need help with Confirmation/Probate in Scotland.
