We anticipate this will take between 10 and 20 hours work at an average of £290 plus VAT per hour, depending on the complexity of your case and who works on it. Our legal costs are estimated to be between £3,000 and £7,000 +VAT.

Additional Costs in Uncontested Probate Cases

The exact cost, however, will depend on the individual circumstances of the matter. For example, if there is one beneficiary and no property, costs will be at the lower end of the above range. If there are multiple beneficiaries, a property and multiple bank accounts, costs will be at the higher end. We will handle the full process for you.

The legal fees estimate is for estates where:

• There is a valid will
• There is no more than one property
• There are no more than 10 bank or building society accounts
• There are no shareholdings (stocks and bonds) in the estate
• There are no other intangible assets
• There are no more than 10 beneficiaries
• There are no disputes between beneficiaries on division of assets. If disputes arise this is likely to lead to an increase in costs
• There is no inheritance tax payable and the executors do not need to submit a full account to HMRC
• There are no claims made against the estate

If your case is more complex than the above example, we can give you a more accurate estimate of these costs once we have more information.
