~2 minutes. Built for Scotland (Confirmation). Guidance only, not legal advice

If you already know you need to get Confirmation, use our tool below to answer a few quick questions and we’ll point you to the best service for your situation — or tell you if you should use the small-estate route or get solicitor support.

  • How it works

    We’ll ask a few short questions e.g. Will, rough value, property, complexity factors. It usually takes less than 2 minutes to complete.  


    When you finish, you’ll receive a recommendation of the best service for you. If your situation looks too complex for our standard services, we’ll redirect you.  


    If you get stuck, you can use the Help Centre, book a free call or message us.


    You’re responsible for the accuracy of your answers.

  • What you'll need

    If you can, have this information to hand but don’t worry if you don’t. The tool will tell you what to find. You'll need:


    • A rough idea of the estate value
    • Whether there’s a valid Will
    • Whether there’s a surviving spouse/partner
    • Whether the person who died owned property, had assets outside the UK, or any trust involvement (if you know)

    Don’t worry if you can’t answer everything - the tool will guide you, and you can always use the Help Centre or book a call.
