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.
All of the work required to extract the Grant:
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.
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:

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.
