Websites for probate specialists
Web design for probate specialists: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Executors are out of their depth and worried about doing something wrong.
The person searching is usually a family member who has been named executor, has never done it before, and has just discovered how much is involved and how personally responsible they are.
They want to know what the job entails, whether they need help at all, and what it will cost. Firms that answer the first question generously win the instruction on the third.
What your customers want answered
- What does an executor actually have to do
- Do I need professional help, or can I do it myself
- What do you charge — fixed fee or a percentage of the estate
- How long does probate take
- What about inheritance tax
Fixed fees, not a percentagePercentage-of-estate charging is widespread and widely resented, because the work does not scale with the value of a house. Publishing fixed fees for defined levels of service is a genuine differentiator and exactly what a careful executor is looking for.
Not explaining what executors can do themselves
Being honest that a simple estate can often be handled without professional help builds the trust that wins the complicated ones, and those are the instructions actually worth having.
What happens and who does what
People dealing with probate are often doing it for the first time while grieving. Explain the steps, what you can take on, and the difference between a grant-only service and full estate administration.
Costs and regulation
Explain your fees clearly and how they are calculated. State your regulatory status accurately and the complaints routes available.
Supporting families through it
People dealing with an estate are grieving, often for the first time. Explain how you support them: a named contact, regular updates in plain English, and a clear list of what you need from them and when. Say how long typical estates take and what can slow things down.
Describe the practical work you take on, such as valuing and selling property, closing bank accounts, dealing with pensions and shares, tracing lost accounts and finding beneficiaries, so families can see how much weight you lift. Say whether you can meet at home and how fees are explained before work starts.
