Obtaining a Letter of Administration or Grant of Probate

Chargeable Fee

This estimate is for estates where:

  • There is a valid will
  • There is no more than one property
  • There are no disputes or contest between beneficiaries on division of assets. If disputes arise this is likely to lead to an increase in costs.
  • There are no other intangible assets
  • There is no inheritance tax payable and the executor/executors do not need to submit a full account to HMRC
  • It is also anticipated that there are no claims made against the estate

If the above is the case, we  anticipate that work on probate cases will take between 10 and 15 hours work. The time to be engaged would be clearer after speaking with you.
