Please note the following are not included:
Contentious Probate matters are charged at our hourly rates.
However, we provide an initial consultation at a fixed fee of £240.00 (+VAT), which is to be paid on account at the meeting (for matters where court proceedings have not already started).
At this stage, we will go through the deceased’s papers and bank statements to establish their assets and liabilities. This can be quite straightforward, however, in some cases, there may be multiple investments, properties, and other personal belongings to consider.
At this stage, we may need to contact banks, lenders, fund managers, pension providers, the local government, the DWP, and HMRC.
We will complete inheritance tax forms as applicable, based on information gathered.
If there is inheritance tax payable on the estate then it must be paid prior to obtaining the grant of probate. Funds can be transferred directly from one of the deceased’s accounts for this if there are sufficient funds.
Once we have assessed the size of the estate we will be able to complete the probate application form by applying to the Probate Registry.
The Executor will need to sign a legal statement to confirm that the details of the application are correct.
At this stage we will pay the applicable probate fees on your behalf. These are fixed regardless of the size of the estate and are detailed above in the disbursements section.
We will collect in the assets of the estate, discharge the liabilities and subsequently distribute the estate in accordance with a Will or the rule of intestacy.
