Service and fee guide
This is the time spent on the Probate administration which includes:
- Obtaining Grant of Probate
- Advice on liquidating and administration of the estate

Please note that we do not handle client’s monies, so we recommend that an Estate bank account be set up and controlled by the executors.
Our fees are levied in accordance with the complexity of the Estate.
- Our minimum charge is £1,500 for Estates below the Inheritance Tax threshold, i.e. those Estates that do not result in any Inheritance Tax being payable.
- For Estates that are above the Inheritance Tax threshold but below £2million in size, the fee is £3,500.
- For Estates £3million to £5million, the fee is £4,500.
- For Estates above £5million, the fee will increase by approximately £1,000 per £million of Estate depending on the complexity.
In all cases, the prices quoted above are the total prices payable, including disbursements.
Disbursements will include the follwing:
- Probate registration fee of £273
- Notices in the London Gazette £80 plus VAT to £109.20 plus VAT
