For a solicitors application for Probate the current Probate Court Fee is £155
and in addition £1.50 for each additional copy required.
Please see below a summary of our fees for Administration of Estates.
For an estate where we are instructed
to act on behalf of the executors where the following apply:-
A valid will, which is readily
available to us
No more than one property
All assets and debts are readily
identifiable
No more than 4 bank or building
society accounts
Up to 4 UK resident beneficiaries
The identity and address of all
beneficiaries is known and all are co-operative
No disputes between beneficiaries or
challenges from other parties
No claims are made against the estate
All executors are co-operative and
not in dispute with each other, and we can meet them in person if required
No inheritance tax is payable and the
executors do not need to submit a full account to HMRC
The Deceased and all beneficiaries
are not subject to any insolvency issues
No overseas assets
No power of attorney is required
our fees are £2,500 plus vat but may
be less depending on the size and composition of assets in the estate and some
other aspects. We shall be pleased to provide a guide as to our fees at our initial meeting.
For other estates where we act on behalf of an executor our fees are based on
an hourly rate of £150 plus Vat added to an element relating to the value of
assets comprised in the estate being 0.5% of the value of any freehold or leasehold
property added to 1% of the remaining assets in the estate.
In estates where we are appointed as the executors our fees are based on
an hourly rate of £150 plus Vat added to an element relating to the value of
assets comprised in the estate being 0.75% of the value of any freehold or leasehold
property added to 1.5% of the remaining assets in the estate.
Alternatively if you only wish to have assistance with some aspects of dealing
with the Estate we can help. For instance if you would like us to prepare the
papers leading to an application for a Grant of Representation only and to make
the application for probate on your behalf to provide to you we can deal
with this aspect for you at a fixed fee of £750 plus vat provided the following applies:-

identifiable

society accounts
