Probate
Dealing with a loved one's estate can be very distressing to say the least.
You are being asked to deal with something you know very little about at a time when you are emotionally drained.
Solicitors and banks can offer a fixed price service which will take the stress of estate administration away from you.
However, you will pay handsomely for this. For example, a leading high street bank will charge 4% plus vat on the first £500,000 of your estate.
Solicitors might charge around 3% plus vat of the estate and/or hourly rates.
We can also introduce you to a local solicitor who offers her probate services for a fixed fee. For clients who want to do the estate administration themselves, but need help with the Grant of Probate application, her service is ideal.
Whichever option you choose, this gives you the peace of mind that the bill will not spiral out of control. This will take away most of the stress of estate administration and will still leave your family with the vast majority of the estate.
