Have you had to cope with sorting out a loved one's financial affairs after they die? The process is called probate or 'confirmation' in Scotland. It's a complex process, involving getting documents from financial institutions, valuing assets and perhaps even selling a house. It all comes at a time when relatives or friends may be feeling at their most vulnerable. Fees to apply for the probate process in England and Wales are due to rise sharply in many cases, subject to Commons approval, in the spring.
Join Adam Shaw and expert panel to share your experiences of dealing with a loved one's financial affairs.
