After losing my father in 2007 and my mother in 2011, Mandip Ranu and Jodie dealt with the probate and winding up of their estate. I found their expertise and compassion second to none and it certainly helped to have such a competent team on my side at such a sensitive time. I would have no hesitation in recommending the staff at Taylors Legal to anyone.Rebecca Taylor,

Fees Probate
Our Prices for Probate:
- £300 + VAT (£360) per hour, however this is dependent on the size of the estate and the level of work involved.
- Depending on the work involved and the size of the estate, it might be possible to charge a fixed fee.
Inheritance Tax:
- When administering an estate, inheritance tax may be payable. Estates under £325,000 are free of inheritance tax because they fall under the ‘nil rate band’.
- If any part of the estate is above £325,000, then inheritance tax at a rate of 40% is payable on the balance.
- However, our trusted probate team are happy to help advise you on any possible exemptions that might be applicable. For example, if a principal residence is being passed down to children, then a further threshold may apply. This is known as the ‘residence nil rate band’.
Disbursements (expenses we administer on your behalf):
- Current probate registry fee submitted by a solicitor - £157.
- Swearing an oath when there is a will - £7.
- Swearing an oath when there is no will (known as an intestacy case) - £5.
- Bankruptcy searches - £2 per person.
It must be noted that these disbursements are not within our control and are subject to change. Therefore, please take these figures as estimates.
