Probate
Dealing with a loved one’s Estate can be difficult but can also be fraught with hidden pitfalls to the untrained eye.
Our experienced team will be able to act for you.
We can deal with matters ranging from applying for a Grant of Probate, for which we charge a fixed fee of £1,250 + 20% VAT (£1,500), up to dealing with complex Estates involving issues such as:
- How to deal with Estate income
- IHT (Inheritance Tax) issues
- Dealing with shares and property
- Advising in relation to data protection issues (GDPR)
We will be able to provide you with an estimate of our fees once we have an indication of the nature of the Estate, e.g. whether it will attract Inheritance Tax, the number of beneficiaries, and whether any charities are involved. There is no such thing as a standard probate, however we would anticipate our charges for dealing with a relatively straightforward Estate not involving IHT to range between £1,800 + 20% VAT (£2,160) and £4,000 + 20% VAT (£4,800).
In accordance with our duty to you as a regulated Solicitor, we will aim to give you as much information as possible at the outset of your matter, so that you will be aware of how much the work will cost.
In addition to our own fees, you will be expected to pay separate ‘disbursements’, such as the Probate Registry fees (currently £526.00 plus £2.00 per copy Grant).
If we are charging on an hourly rate basis for your matter, our rates will depend on the experience of your solicitor in accordance with our Terms of Business (link at the bottom of the page).
Do not hesitate in seeking early advice.
