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.

Great value, quick and professional

The chance of someone without relevant legal experience being able to successfully apply for Confirmation is virtually zero, the options are lawyers (expensive) or this company, who with minimal additional input quickly created a successful application at a fraction of the cost. Great service, prompt and thorough.

They make it so easy

We had great difficulty getting any solicitor to take on our application for conformation of our mum's estate. Most of them did not respond or suggested we use someone else. Only one offered to do the work but wanted £2500 plus VAT plus fees plus 1% of the estate. Nope!

So on top of the stress and pain of losing our mother we had to figure out how to go through the antiquated, torturous Scottish legal system on our own.

We were aware of MPP but were skeptical but the 5 star reviews swung it for us. They gave us all the help and advice we needed to do all the paperwork ourselves. They were very responsive to question and always got back to us within 24 hours. Even on a Sunday.

Once we submitted the forms to MPP they took only 11 days to check everything and email us the corrected forms with a personalized letter for Livingston Sheriff Court together with detailed advice on how to present the application to the court. I live in the US so my sister handed them in to the clerk. They told her once the application was approved they would phone her to arrange payment of court fees. 24 hours later she got the call. Our application was approved in just 1 day.

We would never have gotten through all the ridiculous legal speak required if we didn't have the help of MPP and for a fraction of what a solicitor would have charged. Money well spent.

Hello David, thanks for sharing this excellent review. We fully understand how frustrating this process can be to navigate. We're delighted that your application was processed by the court in 1 day - many courts have backlogs, but it can occasionally happen this quickly if a case is straightforward. We are really pleased to have been able to help you and wish you all the best.

A brilliant service from start to finish. Mike made everything clear and simple. Always an immediate response to my questions, considerate and respectful as well. After successfully receiving confirmation, MPP was also on hand to answer some other questions I had regarding the estate and so I felt very protected throughout the whole process. Like the other reviews here, I cannot recommend MPP highly enough, transparent, honest, efficient and showing consideration and kindness at what is one of the most difficult times in life.

I couldn’t recommend My Probate Partners highly enough.

From start to finish, they made what could have been a complicated and stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. I was assigned an case manager who guided me through the whole process, helped me complete the necessary forms, and kept me right on what I needed to do at each stage.

They provided helpful links and information for everything I needed, and were always available to answer any questions or provide reassurance when I wasn’t sure about something. I never felt like I was left to figure things out on my own.

The set cost was significantly cheaper than using a solicitor, but the outcome and level of service were just as good. Everything went very smoothly, and Confirmation has now been granted by the court.

I started the process in end of February and everything was completed by July (including HMRC process), which I was really pleased with.

Excellent service from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend My Probate Partners to anyone dealing with probate. They made the whole process so much easier than I expected.

Worth their weight in gold

Found MPP after having my C1 application rejected by the court. I chose the option of having them do the forms as I knew this was where I had gone wrong, their questionnaire was simple to understand and methodical in its approach and supplying the information and relevant documentation was so easy. It took 11 days to have the application ready for submission so I would recommend the Fast Track if you are in a rush. Application was submitted and has now been confirmed that Confirmation is granted. Sharon was excellent from start to finish and I can’t thank her enough. The legal jargon that the court expects on the forms are what makes MPP worth every penny

Amazing service from Sharon and her colleagues. They were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. I had so many questions along the way, and they always responded quickly and took the time to explain everything clearly.

As it was such a complex process, they took all the stress away and guided me through every step. Thanks to their expertise, I was granted Confirmation on my first application.

I would highly recommend this service to anyone needing help with the Confirmation process.

Confirmation Statement application

It is always a complex time dealing with a deceased parent’s estate but My Probate Partner excelled in every area keeping us fully informed through the whole process to ultimately receiving our successful Confirmation Statement. I cannot recommend them enough and would give them 6 stars if it was possible!

I was the sceptic, and I was wrong.

I'll be honest. I almost didn't use My Probate Partner, because it felt too good to be true.

When my uncle passed away he left my mum and me a substantial inheritance, but to actually receive it I needed confirmation from the sheriff court in Scotland, and the bureaucracy around it felt like a wall I couldn't get over. A solicitor quoted the kind of figure that makes you wince: as much as £8,000 once you add in their percentage of the estate. So I tried to do it myself.

I used ChatGPT first and thought, brilliant, this is simple. Then the rejection landed. I switched to Claude, which was in a completely different league. The detail, the precise wording, the way it explained things was streets ahead, and it got me a long way. But I was still rejected. And by then I was genuinely scared, because I'd already signed the original will as the docquet requires under Scottish rules. It wasn't just a form anymore. The stakes felt real.

I'd found My Probate Partner from a simple Google search. Around £500, against the solicitor's £8,000. Every instinct told me it was too good to be true. In a world of technology, when something looks that good, it often isn't. So I watched their video. I booked a call. I still didn't trust it. I sat in on their live webinar and asked every awkward question I had, and they answered all of them. They offered a one time discount code on the webinar, and that was the nudge that made me finally bite the bullet.

I'm so glad I did. Within three weeks they'd completely revamped my C1 and all the attachments, resubmitted to the sheriff court, and I've now received my certificate of confirmation. It's done. The end of my uncle's legacy, and the money he wanted us to have is finally coming to us.

What stood out as much as the result was the people. I paid for the enhanced service to get to the front of the queue, and every niggle I had was answered fast, sometimes in the early hours of the morning, which tells you the team are genuinely working their socks off for you. The founder's ethical stance stuck with me too. He's clear he's not in it for your money, he's in it to get you the confirmation that's rightfully yours. Given what they charge next to a solicitor, I believe him. Honestly, it almost felt free.

My only regret is that I didn't go to them first. So if you're where I was, worried you're about to pay thousands for something that should be simple, and unsure whether these people are for real, take it from someone who was that sceptic: they're the real deal. You'll get your confirmation, and they stand behind it with a money back guarantee.

Thank you for lifting a weight I'd carried for months.

Hello Alisdair, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful review. We understand the difficulties clients can face when trying to get Confirmation themselves. It can feel overwhelming. We also understand the potential costs involved, so we are really pleased we could work with you to get Confirmation successfully. And yes, although our business hours are 9 to 5, sometimes case managers can work outwith those hours to give us the best chance to meet your expectations. We wish you all the best.

Very helpful and patient throughout the whole process when your own mind isn't quite thinking straight - I had to change a few things as I had read them wrong and nothing was too much hassle for Lucy.

Have already recommended the team to my friends as well as random people such as the post office lady when I was mailing out all the documents to the various legal entities.

Highly recommended and amazing value for money.

Exceeded all expectations

Initially, I was doubtful about the service because the fee was so low, especially after being quoted up to £9,000 by law firms to handle my application for Confirmation. However, I decided to take the plunge, and I’m so delighted that I did.

The service was impeccable from start to finish. The guidance was clear, straightforward, and easy to follow, making what could have been a daunting process stress free.

Confirmation was granted on my first application in two weeks. Throughout the entire process, Sharon responded quickly to my queries and was incredibly supportive. I couldn’t have asked for a better service and would highly recommend it.

Highly professional service

A solicitor had quoted £6000 and a minimum 6 month turnaround for completion of the application for C1. Believing this was outrageous for a simple Estate I set about attempting to complete the form myself, and quickly became overwhelmed.
I came across My Probate Partner on a Google search, initially cautious I set up a call with Mike who was confident, knowledgable and reassuring.
The 5 star reviews are an accurate reflection of my own experience, I could not have completed the application myself. The guidance was thorough, clear and very prompt. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their expert service.
