If your organisation supports people through a death, everything on this page is yours to use. Link it from your resources page, print it for a bereavement pack, hand it to a family across a desk. No permission needed, no logo required, nothing asked for back. Valoren is a commercial site — the paid work funds the free work — but nothing on this page costs anything, and it stays that way.
Eight documents a family can hold. Each one downloads in a single click from its own page — no account, no email address — and prints cleanly. These are the ones bereavement packs and links pages use most.
For the questions families ask you across a desk. Who inherits without a will, how long probate takes, what it costs — answered by tools that need no sign-up, and figures that carry their GOV.UK source and the date they were last checked.
The quiet risk of a links page is that things go stale on it. So the figures here are checked against GOV.UK and carry the date they were last verified, and the guidance is updated when the underlying rules move — that maintenance is most of what Valoren is.
If something you've linked changes materially, email me and I'll tell you exactly what changed and when.
Valoren is built and run by one person — Joel Patterson. That means questions get answered by the person who wrote the thing you're asking about, usually the same day, and yes and no both come quickly.
