About Farra

Why it exists

When someone dies you are handed a great deal of administration at the worst possible moment, and most of the information about it is written for professionals, or by companies who want to sell you something. These guides are written for the person actually doing it, and they say plainly when a job is simpler than it looks — a great deal of it is.

Who writes it

The guides are written in-house from published government sources, and each one names what it relied on. Farra is not a law firm, and nothing here is written or reviewed by a regulated adviser. How the guides are written sets out exactly what that process is, and what it is not.

Nothing here is legal, financial or tax advice. For a disputed will, a complicated estate, or anything where the answer really matters, speak to a solicitor.

What Farra used to be

Until August 2026, Farra also sold a paid probate pack — a guided service for executors doing probate themselves. It was withdrawn because too few people found it worth paying for to justify keeping it running, and sign-ups closed in September 2026.

The guides stayed, because they are useful on their own and cost nothing to keep up. There is nothing to buy here now, no account, and no email is asked for. If you bought the pack, your account still works — sign in as before.

How it pays for itself

It doesn't. There are no adverts, no affiliate links, no paid placements and no referral fees — including to solicitors, which is the usual way sites like this earn from people in your position. Your reading is not tracked across other sites and your data is not sold.

If something is wrong

Rules change and pages go out of date. If you find a figure that no longer matches GOV.UK, or a link that no longer works, email hello@withfarra.co.uk and it will be corrected. There is no promised turnaround — it is one person — but corrections are the thing most worth sending.
