79 UK government forms, walked box by box.

IHT400, PA1P, LP1F, BSP1, the IHT schedules and more — each one explained field by field in plain English, with the record every box needs named, and the current official form to download from GOV.UK on the same page (or a plain account of why there isn't one). Or drop a PDF below and see what Valoren can read from it: no upload, the document stays on your device.

What this can save

The hard part of a government form is rarely the form. It is the search around it.

0 → 0 hours
IHT400 · reading and gathering

The hours families lose reading the **IHT400** and chasing records can fall to an afternoon once the records are to hand.

0–0 → 0 min
BD8 · once the NI number is to hand

With the National Insurance number already recorded, the **BD8** itself can take about five minutes rather than fifteen to twenty — the rest is the hunt for the number.

0 min
A professional's check

Arrive organised and a professional may be able to check a prepared summary in an hour or two — far less than preparing the account from scratch on the clock.

The easiest form is the one your records have already prepared. These walkthroughs are how you get there.

See how it works · three worked examples

Three forms most families face. Pre-walked, deeply.

These three walkthroughs come with deep per-field guidance, section commentary, and prepared example output. IHT400 (Inheritance Tax), PA1P (Probate with a will), BSP1 (Bereavement Support Payment). All 79 walkthroughs — including LPA, probate, IHT schedules, and deputyship — are available via the search above. Free, anonymous, no card.

When you're ready — not before — our £179 Executor's First Hour walks you through registering the death, notifying banks and pensions, and getting probate started, in the right order.

How Form Help works

Four steps, in order. Free for everyone, fast for portal members.

Pick the form. Run the applicability wizard. The Advisor walks you through every box with plain-English help, and names the record each one draws on — so you gather once, not per form. Filling every applicable field automatically from your 33 records is in build, not live.

I.
Pick≈ 5 seconds

Choose one of the walked-through forms

IHT400, PA1P and BSP1 are pre-walked below, field by field. For every other UK form — HMRC, DVLA, DWP, Companies House, court, council, NHS — a universal drop-any-PDF filler is in development; preview the concept at the top of this page.

OutcomeThe right form, open
II.
Cut≈ 90 seconds

The applicability wizard returns your cut-list

Five yes/no questions decide which sections of the form apply to you and which you can skip. The walkthrough then collapses to only those sections — no scrolling past boxes that don't concern you.

OutcomeOnly the boxes that matter
III.
Fillplain English

Per-box guidance on every field

Every numbered box gets a plain-English explanation, the common pitfalls flagged, and the source record named — so you know exactly which document to reach for..

OutcomeEvery box understood
IV.
Outputyours to keep

A prepared draft in HMRC's visual layout

Your answers stitched into the official form's layout, watermarked DRAFT. You review it against the published form, sign, and submit. Portal members: every applicable field is filled from your records.

OutcomeA signed-ready draft
V
For portal members

Every box, matched to the record it needs.

Name, dates, account numbers, property valuations, executor details — all pulled from your portal records. Upload a pension letter or bank statement and the Advisor extracts the figures.

Why this is free

Form Help is free because the institutional work happens upstream. In the Household Continuity Dossier and the Estate Standard Seal. These walkthroughs are how we earn trust before anyone considers paying.

No card. No email gate. No account required. Use it for one form, never come back, and we will not chase you.
