Built by someone who went through this. The product exists to show what is in place, what is missing, and useful next steps before you pay a solicitor. It does not replace professional advice.

Do you need a solicitor for probate?
Answer a few questions. We’ll show free information for the part of the UK this check covers.
This check does not decide whether a solicitor is needed. It is information only, not a legal conclusion.

Question 1
Which legal system is most closely connected to this situation?
We'll use your answer to show information for the right part of the UK. If you're not sure, choose 'Don't know'.
This means the part of the UK whose rules apply. It is not asking you to decide a legal outcome.
Why we ask
Scotland and England or Wales follow different processes. Northern Ireland and places outside the UK are not covered here.
Trust
- Not legal advice
- KinClarity provides legal information. It is not a law firm, not regulated legal advice, and does not create a solicitor-client relationship. This page does not tell you whether you need a solicitor.
- Your answers
- Answers are stored when you continue, so you can come back to this check. This free orientation is not a paid report and does not start checkout.
- Who built this
- KinClarity is built in Scotland. It exists to show what you have already said, what has not yet been answered, and what this free check can help you prepare for.
