About The Probate Bureau

Established in 1999 by David and Eve West, our Hertfordshire based firm (together with TPB Financial Services Ltd) offers a unique blend of bespoke legal and financial solutions to families at a very difficult time.

Our Ethos - It's All About You

Our overall aim is to save families time, money and stress.  We are able to shoulder the whole burden of winding up an estate from paying the funeral director to getting final Inland Revenue clearance.  We provide the very best service at a fair and reasonable fixed fee, with most of our estates being administered within 6 months by our highly efficient and qualified team aided by our associated solicitors.

Over the years we have found that people really do appreciate a free, non-obligatory meeting in their own home where all their concerns and questions can be answered fully. We have no commissioned paid consultants, nor do we pay out or receive any commissions from anyone. Because we are the longest running specialist estate administration firm in the UK, recommended by over 1000 independent funeral directors, a high degree of trust has been earned which means we have been able to secure professional discounts which we forward on to a client's estate so that more money can be retained within a family.

We deal with clients from Hertfordshire, Essex, London and beyond. One of our strengths is that we are not a firm of solicitors so we do not need to charge an hourly rate or charge for each telephone phone call, email or letter. This means our clients can call whenever they have a question or problem without having to worry about escalating fees.
