Professional, friendly and very approachable

We were recommended to Lisa via our Conveyancing Solicitors when we moved. Lisa has dealt with both our Wills and our POA's in an efficient and speedy manner. For us, the best part was that there was no need for a visit to an office, as our meetings were organised over a Zoom call, which was excellent for us as my husband has Parkinson's and this method removed the stress and anxiety for him to be able to deal with everything from home. Lisa was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the minefield of legalities and law jargon and made it sound not so scary. We would highly recommend her and will happily return to her in the future if we require assistance with anything.

Lisa's expertise and experience invaluable

Lisa helped us with all the relevant paperwork for IHT on a non tax estate, bringing it to GOP being granted . Lisa's experience and expertise was invaluable, taking away the stress from myself and sister.

Highly recommend Lisa.

Honest, knowledgeable, professional and friendly

I found Lisa via her helpful Facebook group. On grieving the loss of my beautiful Mother and struggling to work and deal with all the "sadmin" that comes with being an Executor and bereft daughter, I needed someone who could take a mental load off me. I contacted Lisa and, after a lovely chat, I knew she was the right person to deal with the Probate application for me. I opted for Lisa's fixed fee service and it's been worth every penny. Lisa is honest, highly knowledgeable, professional and friendly all rolled into one. I highly recommend anyone to let Lisa take the reins for you during what is a stressful process. I know probate has been granted far quicker too having a professional sign off, than it would have been doing it myself. Thanks Lisa.

1 2 1 Consultation for Probate

After weeks of research and worry I decided to invest in a one hour consultation with Lisa for advice with my Dad's probate (£195). I had actually managed to make everything much more complicated than it needed to be, and Lisa was able to advise me on the straightforward way forward. The following day I completed the probate online forms with ease, and less than two weeks later, was granted probate. I would highly recommend DIY Probate Lab for guiding you through the probate process if you don't feel confident by yourself.

IHT/probate services

I engaged Lisa for her fixed-fee IHT/probate service - she made a complicated task so much easier at a very difficult time. She was compassionate, helpful and responded quickly to any questions.

I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone needing help with the IHT/probate process.

Excellent professional work by Lisa

My husband and I engaged Lisa to complete our Powers of Attorney for both Financial and Health. Throughout the process she kept us informed and her professional advice was much appreciated.
We communicated primarily via email, which suited our needs, although initially we had a very detailed zoom discussion which was helpful in gaining an insight into Lisa's personality. Which made us very comfortable engaging her with this matter.
We are happy to highly recommend Lisa for any similar work.

Approachable and friendly

I discovered Lisa through her Facebook group and that in itself is such an invaluable tool for addressing some of those unknowns surrounding the pursual of probate.

After enquiring with Lisa about her services, I found her approachable and subject to no sales talk at all, only a willingness to help. Lisa’s fees were comparatively affordable and I have no regrets having received the grant of probate quickly. I have enlisted Lisa for further services 😊

Excellent service - helpful, approachable, quick and efficient

Looking around I found ridiculously high prices to carry out probate services. I wanted to find somebody who could do the job for me and allow me to carry out more important things like taking care of my wife. I found Lisa who charged a very resonable fixed fee. I have found Lisa to be excellent in every way. She was very approachable and helpful and responded to all my emails and questions switly and knowledgeably. I would not hestitate to recommend her services to others.

A lighthouse in a storm - Lisa is brilliant!

I found Lisa after joining her free Facebook group - which is full of advice.

After many quotes from various big name companies (and being made to feel very much a number) - I enquired if Lisa could help me with my probate journey.

Lisa was a fraction of the cost of the other quotes I had.... but she offered tons more care, support and explanation at a time when it is really needed.

Lisa really simplified the process, kept everything manageable and was always accessible to ask questions- and trust me I asked plenty of small silly questions.

I started with Lisa in Oct 24. We applied/paid for Inheritance Tax in Nov 24. Our probate application was submitted on 19th Dec and probate was granted on 27th January 2025. This was all so much quicker than I had hoped for, most the waiting was on Govt departments to provide information to us. I have no doubt I would still be doing the process if I went with a different solicitor.

Lisa has provided so many useful documents, that I still use now to keep Estate Accounts, and templates.

I cannot recommend Lisa enough. Dealing with probate after the loss of a loved one is incredibly difficult, but honestly Lisa made it as easy as it could be - with constant care, attention and kindness that was so lost in most places after my mum's death!

An impeccable & caring probate…

An impeccable & caring probate professional!
Lisa is not only top of her game with probate matters, but importantly, also extremely down to earth, kind,
empathetic & approachable, and she explains things clearly in layman's terms, which is so helpful when dealing with probate as so much legal terminology can be very confusing.
I discovered Lisa via her Facebook group a couple of years back. The free guidance & advice that she offers on there demonstrates exactly the generous person that she is. Her Facebook group has been instrumental in my being able to negotiate over 2 years of very difficult probate issues.
Alongside her Facebook group she offers her professional personalised probate service at really good rates - a fraction of what the BIG firms charge, and with more flexibility than they offer, so you can hand over to her to complete it all, or just pay for her to check forms etc as you go. She works around how you want to do it.
I purchased her DIY probate template forms to assist me with completing estate accounts, distribution etc., and they were an absolute godsend in helping me to ensure I was doing these things correctly.
For anyone dealing with probate/intestacy or needing estate planning advice / a will drawing up, this is the place to go to.
I couldn't recommend Lisa highly enough!

Intestate Experience

I am dealing with an intestate estate and have found DIY Probate Lab to be amazing.

Lisa is approachable, knowledgeable and very well priced (which is hard to find in Probate Solicitors). Explains everything and supports you all the way. I consider myself very lucky to have found her.

I have used her documentation formats and paid for consultations to ensure I am following the law.

I can highly recommend this business and will recommend her to all my family and friends.

Lisa, the DIY probate lab and her facebook group

I purchased the DIY templates from the diyprobatelab.co.uk to help me with having a "proper" administration while dealing with probate.
So happy with my purchase and also thanks so much to Lisa via her wonderful Facebook group. She has a wealth of knowledge, but not only that, she's empathetic, and kind too.
In the dark days when you're grieving, but having to deal with so much administration, she's really a fabulous person to have contact with.

To summarise, I would 100% recommend the downloadable resources and 100% recommend her group and services for anything wills and probate related.

Lisa is the most honest person that works in the world of Probate.

I was extremely impressed with Lisa's ethical approach to handling the probate process. She was completely transparent regarding all costs and fees, never attempted to inflate her services, and consistently prioritized the best interests of the estate. Her honesty and professionalism provided a significant comfort during what was undoubtedly a challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking a trustworthy and ethical probate professional. You will not be disappointed.
