Fees & Disbursements

All prices are exclusive of VAT charged at 20%.

We offer an initial consultation at a fixed fee of £180 plus VAT (20%). For the administration of the estate, we charge based on the hours spent at an hourly rate between £175 and £225 plus VAT, along with disbursements such as a Probate Fee ranging from £155 to £175. The administration process involves assessing the estate value, preparing necessary documentation, settling any inheritance tax, and applying to the Probate Registry for representation grant. Upon grant issuance, we will collect estate assets, settle estate liabilities, and distribute the estate. Typically, estate administration is completed within 6 to 12 months, and we will provide a cost estimate based on time spent and likely disbursements once the estate's extent is determined before starting the process.
