When Mum passed away, I had to help Dad sort everything out. He's in his late 90s and can barely use a phone. I didn't have a clue where to start.

I'm used to dealing with complex projects at work but handling Mum's estate was different. My brother lives overseas so it fell to me.

I lost both my parents last year. The solicitors wanted two grand just to start. No thanks. I thought I can sort this myself, I'm not daft.
