Before you formally start the probate process, it helps to know what you're likely to need to do and when.

That’s why we created this comprehensive checklist, so you can be prepared for what’s to come. Our checklist covers:

• The tasks you'll likely need to complete in the probate process

• The 13 clear stages of handling someone’s estate, all written in plain English

• Clear guidance on the forms you need to fill out and when

• A progress tracker that helps you see what stage you’re at and if a task has been completed by a joint executor
