Terms of Use

Acceptance of these terms

By using Settle (settleprobate.co.uk), you agree to be bound by these terms of use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the site.

Nature of the service

Settle provides general informational content and an administrative assessment tool to assist people who are acting as executors or administrators of estates in England and Wales. The service is designed to help users organise and understand the probate process.

Settle is not a law firm and does not provide legal, tax, financial, or professional advice. The information provided is for general educational and organisational purposes only. It does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, legal advice in respect of any specific situation.

No solicitor-client relationship

Use of Settle does not create a solicitor-client relationship, or any other professional relationship, between you and Settle or any person associated with Settle. We are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Accuracy of information

We take care to ensure that the information on this site is accurate and up to date. However, probate law, HMRC procedures, and government processes change over time. We cannot guarantee that all information on the site is current at the time you read it. You should verify any information that affects a decision you are about to make, particularly in relation to deadlines, fees, and legal requirements.

Always check official sources - including gov.uk, HMRC, and HM Courts & Tribunals Service - for the most current guidance before taking any significant step in the probate process.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Settle and its operators accept no liability for:

• Any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, information provided on this site
• Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the content
• Any action taken or not taken based on the results of the assessment tool
• Interruptions to or unavailability of the service

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence.

Jurisdiction

The content on Settle relates specifically to probate law in England and Wales. It does not cover Scotland, Northern Ireland, or any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom. If you are dealing with an estate in a different jurisdiction, you should seek appropriate local advice.

Intellectual property

The content on this site, including text, structure, and design, is owned by or licensed to Settle. You may not reproduce or redistribute the content without our written permission. You may share links to the site freely.
