Find the example that best matches your own personal situation to gain a greater understanding of what a probate service would cost your estate. It's important to note that these fees are not payable upfront and will be due from the estate upon death.
Some Probate service providers such as Co-op and Slater & Gordon tend to vary their fees dependent on the size and complexity of the estate (between 2.5% and 4%). We provide a range of fixed-fee probate services from only 0.75% of estate value or a minimum fee of £995.
With Wills Services, what you see on your individual quote is what we’ll charge.
