As a guide, a straightforward probate matter could take approximately 10 -18 hours and our fees would be likely to be in the region of £3,000-£5,000 + 20% VAT. |

How to read these prices
Firms publish prices for different pieces of work, so compare the same row across firms rather than the headline. A fee marked "from" is the firm's starting price and the final figure can be higher. A fee marked "estimate" was published against a described example estate rather than as a flat price. Where a firm did not say whether VAT is included, we say so rather than guessing: VAT adds a fifth to the bill.
