Probate & Administration of Estate Price List 2025
FEES:
Probate Consultancy
We can answer any question you may have if you are administering an Estate yourself – free initial telephone consultation to understand your requirements.
Obtaining a Grant of Probate/Grant of Letters of Administration
Typically £1,500 + VAT at 20%
We can obtain a Grant of Probate for you (which is often the most complicated part of the Estate administration process) and you can then organise closure of the accounts yourself and distribute the Estate. This has the advantage of ensuring the tax return and Court application is completed correctly, you can pick our brains with any queries you may have and it saves you the expense of the full Estate administration service. This service is most suitable for an Estate where there are only 1 or 2 Beneficiaries.
If you would like us to obtain the Grant of Probate for you, all you need to do is let us have all of the deceased’s paperwork, we will go through it, notify the companies of the death, check the Will is valid and there are no issues, obtain valuations of all assets and liabilities and complete the inheritance tax return and on-line Court application.
Our price includes all meetings, calls and correspondence with you.
Timescales: For simple estates it typically takes one to two months to prepare a Probate Application. Complex estates can take two to five months. The Probate Registry can take up to 16 weeks to issue a Grant of Probate.
Complete Administration of Estate service
A simple Estate typically costs £3,000 – £5,000 +VAT at 20%
We can carry out the full Estate administration for you. The advantage of this for you is that you won’t have to do very much at all apart from making decisions with guidance and support from us and we’ll take care of everything else.
Our service includes checking the Will to ensure it is valid and there are no issues, notifying all companies of the death, organising valuations of all assets, notifying all Beneficiaries of their inheritance, completing the Inheritance Tax Return and on-line Probate application, obtaining the Grant of Probate, registering the Grant with all companies and organising closure or transfer of all accounts to the Beneficiaries. We will assess the Estate for any potential Capital Gains Tax and advise regarding ways to mitigate this. We will also produce a set of Estate Accounts, ensure that the administration period income tax affairs are dealt with and distribute the Estate in accordance with the terms of the Will or Intestacy Rules.
A simple Estate often includes a property and some bank accounts and or Premium Bonds and has 1 or 2 Beneficiaries. A complex Estate includes more assets, such as investments, has cash gifts to pay, multiple Beneficiaries (which could include Charities) and could be liable to Inheritance Tax. There could also be tension between Beneficiaries and/or Executors which requires our input.
Timescales: To finalise the Administration of Estate can take from seven to ten months or longer. Executors often wish to wait for the six month claim period to elapse before distributing the Estate.
Large or complex Estates
Typically costs £6,000 – £30,000 + VAT at 20%
Alternatively, you may prefer us to charge on the basis of our hourly rates and prices could range from £6,000 – £30,000 +VAT at 20% depending on the level of complexity.
The benefit for you of asking us to carry out the Estate administration is that it is a large amount of work you will be relieved of, and, you will have the peace of mind that it will be administered correctly and we will take responsibility for it.
The service offered for a large or complex Estate is the same as for a simple Estate however the volume of work (letters, forms etc.) is increased, the legal issues are often more technical with greater risk attached and we will also organise payment of any inheritance tax and liaise with HMRC if they raise any enquiries regarding the Inheritance Tax Account. We will also liaise with all Beneficiaries and be their point of contact.
Timescales: To finalise a large or complex Administration of Estate can take one to two years, including obtaining the Grant of Probate.
