| £196 an hourplus VAT | Hourly rate | The firm's wordsFees for Estate Administration. In such cases, we can deal with the whole administration of the estate. We anticipate applying for the grant, collecting, and distributing the assets will take between 15 and 20 hours work at £196 per hour plus VAT at 20% (£39.20 VAT per hour). |
Full estate administration
The firm handles the whole estate, from the grant to distributing it.

| £2,940 to £3,920plus VAT | Fixed fee | The firm's wordsFees for Estate Administration. This equates to total costs of between £2,940 and £3,920 plus VAT at 20% (between £588 and £784 VAT). |

| 1.5% to 2% of the estateplus VAT | Percentage of the estate | The firm's wordsFees for Estate Administration. If there are multiple beneficiaries, a property and multiple bank accounts, costs will be towards the higher end. In our experience the average total charge to include both capital element and time element amounts to around 1.5%-2% of the gross estate plus VAT at 20%. |

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.
Prices change. If this page and the firm's own page disagree, the firm's page is right, and we would like to know: hello@probatepanel.co.uk.
