From our customers
Real families. Real estates.
“I had no idea where to start. Farra told me exactly what forms to get, what order to do things in, and flagged that I needed an extra copy of the death certificate before I even asked.”
Rachel M.
Executor for her mother's estate, Leeds
The IHT section alone was worth it. I would have filled in the wrong form entirely — the estate was just under the threshold and Farra explained exactly why I didn't need to file the full IHT400.
David K.
Managing his father's estate, Bristol
I was worried it would be too complicated to do myself. Farra broke it into steps I could actually manage. The application went through first time with no queries from the probate registry.
Aisha T.
Sole executor for her aunt's estate, Birmingham
We used a solicitor for my mother's estate ten years ago and paid over £4,000. This time I used Farra and did it myself. I genuinely couldn't believe how straightforward it was.
Peter H.
Executor and beneficiary, Surrey
