A Grant of Probate is a Certificate which is a legal document giving the Executors (if there is a will) or Administrators (if there is no will) authority to manage the Estate of a deceased person.
The legal cost for obtaining a grant of probate is £750+vat. The Court fee is £273 and any copies of the grant is £1.50 each.
We at Marley’s can assist in all aspects of Estate Administration.
If we are instructed to deal with the whole of Estate, for example a small estate including a property and around 3 to 4 bank accounts, the cost will be between £1700-£2500 plus VAT. If the estate has a property and more than 5 bank accounts, shares and is a taxable estate, then the cost will be between £4500 and 8000 plus VAT.
The court fee is paid in addition.
