Dealing with the death of a loved one is almost incomprehensible to those who haven’t experienced this kind of loss themselves. The grief and sense of loss can leave you at such a low ebb you don’t know what to do or where to turn. Having to cope with all the legal issues surrounding probate and an estate is stressful, tiring, and can be downright confusing if you find yourself doing it alone.

The Probate Network offers a helping hand to those grappling with probate and estate administration in the wake of losing a loved one. This free legal advice service connects you to highly qualified solicitors with specialized experience in probate matters. With the Probate Network, you can get answers to your most pressing probate questions and figure out if you need expert guidance through the complex probate process.

Founded in 2020 by Julie Draper, a marketing consultant in the legal sector, the Probate Network was born out of personal experience. After her father’s death, Julie’s mother faced numerous obstacles when dealing with estate administration affairs. Determined to make probate help readily available, Julie paved the way for an approachable resource that directs people on the right path.




Julie reflects on her own experience. “When my dad passed away, my mom reached out to solicitors only to find that she needed to book costly hourly appointments. Our family didn’t require Probate for Dad’s estate,” Julie recounts. “Had my mom accepted one of those appointments, she would have paid just to be told she had done everything correctly.” Drawing upon her marketing background in law, Julie established The Probate Network to offer free conversations with Probate Solicitors. These legal professionals appreciate the significance of being accessible and empathetic to individuals mourning the loss of a loved one and tackling a frequently unfamiliar legal process.

Comprising solicitors who grant complimentary 20-minute phone consultations, The Probate Network answers your probate-related questions and provides guidance on matters such as probate, intestacy, estate administration, or contentious probate concerns. All participating solicitors are members of the Law Society of England and Wales and are overseen by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, ensuring high-quality service within the UK’s legal industry.

Booking appointments online is a breeze; clients select the date and time that suits them best without any obligations attached. Solicitors refrain from promoting their services during the consultation unless prompted. Consequently, many people complete the probate process without needing further professional assistance.

Following the 20-minute consultation, clients can decide if they need legal representation with their chosen solicitor or explore other options within The Probate Network. However, solicitors aren’t the sole professionals involved in probate proceedings. The Probate Service Business Directory  enables users to locate various probate-related services like probate insurance, finance, and even burial and commemorative selections.

In addition to free probate consultations, The Probate Network’s website contains vital resources to educate people about the challenging and frequently overwhelming task of handling estate administration. Their comprehensive guides, FAQ sections, and probate news allow you to make well-informed decisions while avoiding costly errors due to improper procedures.




As more people turn to The Probate Network for guidance, they are constantly seeking new solicitors and related service providers to join their ever-growing Network and Business Directory—joining is free! For more information, visit www.the-probate-network.co.uk.
