Getting a professionally drafted Will is usually at the back of people’s minds or stuck at the bottom of the ‘life admin pile’. The offer of a FREE simple under the Cancer Research UK and Will and Alzheimer’s Society scheme could not be more attractive. If you wish to pay for your Will then prices start at £180+vat.

Your Will shall be professionally drafted by a solicitor who is a specialist in this area and who is a full member of Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners holding the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners advanced certificate in Will Preparation.

A grant is a certificate from the Probate Registry giving the Executors (if there is a Will) or Administrators (if there is no will and the estate is intestate) the power to call in the assets of the estate and deal with them as according to the Will or intestacy law.

There are certain assets in an estate that do require a grant of probate for example, property, land or investments. Any money in bank accounts depends on the value, each bank has its own threshold.

The legal cost for obtaining a grant of probate is £750+vat. The Court fee is £273 and any copies of the grant is £1.50 each.

I am happy to lend a helping hand to any aspect of estate administration and help as much as required. This will certainly keep costs to a minimum.  If I assist completely with a small estate (property and 3/4 bank accounts), the cost will be between £1700-£2500 plus VAT.  If the estate has a property and more than 5 bank accounts, shares and is a taxable estate, then the cost will be between £4500 and 8000 plus VAT.  The court fee is paid in addition.
