EstateCopilot is a UK estate administration platform that empowers executors to handle probate and estate settlement without a solicitor — saving up to £15,000 in professional fees.

Built for executors across England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, EstateCopilot replaces the fragmented, expensive traditional route with a guided, all-in-one digital workflow. Users answer simple questions about the estate and receive a personalised task roadmap, intelligent next-step suggestions, and automatically filled probate court forms (PA1P, PA1A, and C1 Scottish Confirmation).

Key capabilities include:

  • AI-powered task prioritisation that surfaces the most critical next actions based on estate progress, value, and days elapsed
  • Automated IHT (Inheritance Tax) assessment with threshold detection and form recommendations
  • Auto-filled court forms with IHT checker value integration, ready to print and post
  • Asset, debt, and beneficiary tracking with full financial ledger
  • Co-executor collaboration with role-based access
  • Letter templates for banks, HMRC, and beneficiaries
  • Multi-jurisdiction support with automatic terminology and form adjustments

EstateCopilot is priced as a one-time fee per estate (from £279), with no subscriptions or hidden costs — a deliberate choice rooted in the founder’s own experience facing an £8,000+ solicitor quote after becoming an executor. 94% of users complete probate without solicitor involvement.

The platform is designed for people with no legal background, built with plain-English guidance at every step.
