Probate Fees

Probate – Our Fees

Initial Advice (30 Minutes)

FREE

We offer a free 30-minute consultation where we can discuss your Probate needs / concerns and whether we can help you.

Permission Document Only

£750 + VAT (£900)

We pride ourselves on giving Executors and Administrators clear, practical information to help them feel confident in their role.   If you’re comfortable managing most of the estate administration yourself but need support with obtaining the official Grant (whether Probate or Letters of Administration), we offer this as a standalone service for a fixed fee. This includes valuing the estate and submitting the application as quickly as possible.

Full Service

1.5% of the Gross Estate + VAT

In many cases, the larger the value of the estate, the greater the task is for carrying out the role of Executor / Administrator.   To accommodate for that, we charge a fixed rate of 1.5% of the gross estate value (the total value of all assets before debts are paid) as our fee for carrying out all responsibilities on behalf of the Executor / Administrator. This includes all IHT forms and communicating with all parties.

Contentious Probate

Dependent on which of our Solicitors you choose.

Disagreements over a Will or the administration of an estate can be emotionally and legally complex. This is known as Contentious Probate — a broad term that covers disputes about the validity of a Will, inheritance claims, or concerns about how an estate is being handled.   These matters often require expert guidance. We bring experience and specialist knowledge to help you navigate the process with clarity and confidence, whether that’s resolving matters informally or pursuing or defending a formal claim.   For legal support of this nature, we charge an hourly rate, ensuring you only pay for the time and expertise you actually need. The cost of this is specific to which of our Solicitors you choose to help you.
