Probate


Dealing with a loved one’s estate can be daunting and frustrating at times. At worth.legal, we can support you through the process whether you need a little bit of help with the legal formalities or if if you want support dealing with an estate from start to finish.

worth.legal can advise on the terms of a Will or explain who will inherit if there is no Will. We have a helpful flowchart setting out who inherits if there is no Will here. Working with our trusted partners, we can arrange for your probate application to be submitted to the Probate Registry.

We can help you if you need more support, for example if you are dealing with a complex estate where inheritance tax is payable and to make sure the terms of the Will are carried out correctly.  Our full estate administration service is designed for executors who want professional support to ensure they properly carry out the role of executors from start to finish.

We can also offer professional executor services for those who want to appoint professionals to act as their executors.  We discuss our likely charges for professional executor services with our clients so they are aware of the anticipated costs to be paid from their estate.

Our experienced team is ideally placed to support you through the probate process, explaining each stage and your responsibilities when dealing with an estate.

Our fees for obtaining probate start at £834 including VAT (£695 plus VAT), contact us and we can provide a probate quote bespoke to your needs. There is a fee payable to the Probate Registry of £273 plus £1.50 per copy of the probate document.
