Probate Grant Only - Clear Pricing

We offer a Grant only service too.

This is a low-cost way of us taking the responsibility for obtaining the Grant of Probate (or Grant of Letters of Administration where there is no Will) on your behalf, and you can thereafter deal with the estate administration yourself.

What is involved?

All of the work required to extract the Grant:

• Provide you with a dedicated and experienced probate solicitor to work on your matter
• Identify the legally appointed executors or administrators and beneficiaries
• Accurately identify the type of Probate application you will require
• Obtain the relevant documents required to make the application
• Complete the Probate Application and the relevant HMRC forms
• Draft a legal oath for you to swear
• Make the application to the Probate Court on your behalf
• Obtain the Probate and securely send copies to you

Timescale

On average, estates that fall within this range are dealt with within 1 month. We can usually submit the application to the Probate Registry (for non-taxable estates) within 2 weeks.

How much does this service cost?

The price will depend upon the level of experience of the relevant fee earner and the value and complexity of the estate.

The price can vary and can be charged on a fixed fee basis or on an hourly rate basis but typically our fixed fees start from:
Legal fees for non-taxable estate (IHT 205) £399.00 + VAT at 20% on legal fees £79.80
Total £478.80
 
Legal fees for a taxable estate (IHT 400) £999.00 + VAT at 20% on legal fees £199.80
Total £1198.80

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process. Please keep in mind that, as with the legal fees, the disbursements will vary depending on the type of matter.
