PROBATE

Applying for the Grant, Collecting and distributing the assets

 

What follows is a typical example of our pricing structure in the Probate Department for work on an uncontested probate matter. We can offer flexibility on the charging on any individual file. What follows is an example of an hourly rate charge, but fixed fees or percentage fees can be agreed instead.

 

We anticipate that an uncontested probate matter will cost in the region of £2,500 - £5,000 plus VAT, plus 1% of the gross value of registered land in the estate and 1.5% of the gross value of all other assets (including unregistered land)

 

We handle the entire process from start to finish for you.

 

This quote is for estates where: -

·         There is a valid Will

·         There is no more than one property

·         There are no more than six banks or building society accounts

·         There are no other intangible assets

·         There are 1-5 beneficiaries

·         There are no disputes between beneficiaries on division assets. If disputes arise this is likely to lead to an increase in costs

·         There is no inheritance tax payable and the executors do not need to submit a full account to HMRC

·         There are no claims made against the estate

 

Disbursements included in this fee: -

·         Probate application fee of £273 plus 1.50p for each additional office copy of the grant.

·         Bankruptcy-only Land Charges Department searches (£2.00 per beneficiary)

·         Other disbursements include circa £350 to cover Statutory Notices – which protect against unexpected claims from unknown creditors

 

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable by 3rd parties, such as court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

Potential additional costs

·         If there is no Will or the estate consists of any share holdings (stock and bonds) there is likely to be additional costs that could range significantly depending on the estate and how it is to be dealt with. We can give a more accurate quote once we have more information

·         Dealing with the sale or transfer of any property in the estate is not included.

 

How long will this take?

On average, estates that fall within this range are dealt with, within 3-9 months. Typically, obtaining the Grant of Probate takes 6-10 weeks. Collecting assets then follows, which can take between 2-6 weeks. Once this has been done, we can distribute the assets if there is no potential inheritance claim.
