About Farra
Farra helps families apply for probate in England and Wales — telling you exactly what to file, in what order, and what to do when it gets complicated.
When someone dies, you're often thrown into a fog of grief and paperwork. Probate is one of the most confusing parts — a legal process most people have never encountered, with forms, deadlines, and consequences for getting it wrong.
We built Farra because we believe it shouldn't require a solicitor to navigate.
Why we started Farra
Farra began after seeing loved ones struggle through the paperwork that follows a death — missing key steps, paying for legal help they didn't need, and feeling lost during the hardest of times.
About 60% of UK probate applications are submitted without a solicitor. But 1 in 3 get sent back by HMCTS for errors. The problem isn't that families can't do it — it's that they don't know what "it" actually is.
Farra fixes that. Answer 15 questions and we'll tell you exactly what to file, in what order, with every fee and deadline — built around your specific situation.
