Wills & Probate Costs

The Costs for Will drafting

The majority of our Wills are drafted on a fixed fee basis depending on the complexity of the Will.  If you have a bespoke Will request or require a complex Will structure, or if you need a Will drafting within a particularly tight timeline (for example a deathbed Will) then these will be completed on an hourly rate basis.  There may be additional charges to third parties such as the Land Registry in some circumstances.

The Costs for Obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration

In some circumstances we can offer a fixed fee price for making an application for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.  These costs are broadly set out below but there may be other complicating factors that may alter these charges.  Fixed fee matters are discretionary and will be offered on a case by case basis.  There will also be an additional charge for the Probate Registry.  Currently their fees are: £300 plus £1.50 per copy of the Grant required.
