Real people in Northern Ireland, dedicated to making probate accessible and affordable for everyone.
Probate Direct was founded in Northern Ireland with a simple but powerful mission: to make the probate process accessible and affordable for everyone. Built by the team at J.J. Taylor & Co. Solicitors, The Probate Pass™ was created because we saw too many families struggling with the financial burden of solicitor fees during an already difficult time—often paying thousands of pounds for what is essentially form-filling and document preparation.
We asked ourselves: why should bereaved families spend £2,000-£5,000+ on solicitor fees when the probate application process can be completed online for a fraction of that cost? The answer was clear—they shouldn't have to. That's why we built The Probate Pass™ — operated independently so you don't pay solicitor rates for paperwork you can do yourself.
Our team is based right here in Northern Ireland, and we understand the unique aspects of the Northern Ireland probate system. We're not a faceless corporation or an overseas call center. We're your neighbors, and we're here to help families like yours navigate the probate process without breaking the bank.
Every pound you save on probate fees is a pound that goes to the beneficiaries—the people your loved one wanted to provide for. That's what matters most to us.
We understand you're dealing with loss. Our service is designed to be straightforward and stress-free during a difficult time.
Fixed fee of £395. No hidden charges, no hourly rates, no surprises. What you see is what you pay.
Every pound saved on fees means more for the beneficiaries. We help you honor your loved one's wishes.
We're based in Northern Ireland and specialise exclusively in Northern Ireland probate law. We understand the local system, the forms, and the process inside and out.
We provide a self-service application tool, templates, and step-by-step guidance — not legal advice and not solicitor services. For straightforward estates, you don't need expensive solicitor fees—you just need the right forms filled out correctly. That's what The Probate Pass™ does.
We use technology to make the process efficient and affordable, but we never forget there are real people behind every application. If you need help or have questions, we're here.
If your situation is complex, we'll tell you. You can choose to instruct J.J. Taylor & Co. Solicitors directly under their own separate engagement, and your £395 from Probate Direct NI is credited against their fee. We're not here to take on cases we can't properly serve.
We will never mislead you. If we can't help with your situation, we'll tell you upfront and point you in the right direction.
We will protect your data. Your information is encrypted and secure. We never share it with third parties without your consent.
We will deliver what we promise. You'll receive completed NIPF7 form, an estate summary spreadsheet, and a detailed submission guide—immediately after payment.
We stand behind our service. 100% money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied. No questions asked.
