Hi, I did my Mum's in 2012, did it all by myself, it was easy (they didn't have a complicated estate). It all went though literally via return of post. I was very impressed by the whole thing.
I've PMd you my phone number, happy to offer advice, it's a tough time losing a parent as it is, without all the agro of house selling, estate, council tax etc etc
Just a quick couple of things while I remember. You can put the house up for sale but can't sell it before probate comes through. As long as the house is unoccupied at the moment you should get (I think) 6 months council tax at £0

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
