Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

Probate Valuation Of Chattels | Who Takes Charge If No Will?

If you (or someone else) believes that someone who has died has left a will, but no one can find it, you can take steps to find out if they made one by:

phoning or writing to solicitors and banks which the person might have used;
placing advertisements in newspapers and legal journals;

searching the belongings of the person who has died for any evidence that they made a will (for example, a letter from a solicitor); and

applying to the Principal registry to see if the person who died left their will there.

If there is no will, the person’s Estate will be shared out under the ‘rules of intestacy’.

These rules set out: who deals with the estate; and who benefits from it.

The person who will deal with the estate is chosen in a set order, according to who exists. They are:

1. The husband or wife of the person who has died (but not a partner they were not married to).
2. Their children or their descendants (for example, grandchildren, if they are over 18).
3. Their parents.
4. Their brothers or sisters with the same mother and father.
5. Their half brothers or half sisters (who had either the same mother or the same father).
6. Their grandparents.
7. Their uncles and aunts ‘of the whole blood’ (this means brothers and sisters of their parents, as long as they had the same mother and father themselves).
8. Their uncles and aunts ‘of the half blood’ (this means brothers and sisters of their parents who had only the same mother or father).
9. The Crown (the state) if there are no relatives.

‘Letters of administration’ serves the same purpose as probate if there is no will. You apply for letters of administration in the same way you would apply for probate. As with probate, you may not have to apply for letters of administration if the person’s estate was not worth very much.

If an Administrator deals with all the matters personally (rather than using a solicitor to do this), they will be personally liable if they don’t follow the ‘rules of entitlement’ (the rules governing who gets what) correctly.

If several people have an equal right to deal with the estate (for example, brothers and sisters), letters of administration will normally be given to the first of these people to apply.

However, there can be a problem when, for example, the dead person has several brothers or sisters who all want to be in charge of the funeral or administration. If they cannot come to an agreement about this themselves, they would have to apply to the Probate Court, which will decide who will be responsible. This process is complicated, and you would need help from a solicitor if you were in this position.
