I did my father's myself but that all went to my mother. I happened to be in between jobs so had time and gave me something to do. Even so, in retrospect I would have got a solicitor to do it - while it was easy at first, I soon found it an additional weight of responsibility I didn't really need at the time.
My partner's been organising her father's funeral - it's going to be quite different from Nine-Nights/Dead Yard, which obviously isn't possible now. It will be very stark.
He died intestate, so looking for recommendations for a good solicitor if anyone has one. Fairly straight forward, I would have thought - bank account, savings, a couple of investments and some shares, no property.
