Probate practitioners often need to use a public forum to notify potential creditors, beneficiaries to estates and other claimants when someone has died to help with the deceased’s estate arrangements.
The Gazette (the UK’s official public record) is launching an updated, mobile-responsive website to better fulfil its services and is seeking feedback on its look, feel and functionality to ensure it meets the needs of its customers – including notice placers.
Towards this end, it is inviting ICAEW-registered probate practitioners to join its research group to help test the new website, with various incentives in place to compensate participants for their time.
To take part, interested parties can sign up to The Gazette’s Research Group, where participants will be selected and invited to other research projects in the future.
User-experience (UX) testing sessions are expected to last between 30–60 minutes, while other research projects may consist of shorter surveys. You can choose which ones you would like to take part in and can leave the group at any time.
If interested, please visit The Gazette’s registration portal.
If you need to use The Gazette to place a notification of someone’s death, further information can be found on its website.
