Probate work
The firm did not say which part of the work this price covers.
| Price | How it is charged | What the firm published |
|---|---|---|
| £1,500 to £2,000plus VAT | Fixed fee | The firm's wordsOur charges are not based on the value of the estate, only on the time spent. If the estate is simple, with no inheritance tax to pay, the date-of death value of the assets are known, and we are only asked to apply for the grant, our charges are likely to be between £1500 – £2000 (+VAT). |
| £2,000 to £15,000plus VAT | Fixed fee | The firm's wordsValue of estate | Likely fees based on time spent. Up to £500,000 | £2,000 – £15,000 (+VAT). |
| 1% to 3% of the estateVAT not stated | Percentage of the estate | The firm's wordsGood to know. The Law Society suggest that a simple estate should be able to be administered for a fee between 1-3% of the value of the estate, and that complex or contentious estates are likely to attract fees in excess of 3% of that value. |
| £225 an hourplus VAT | Hourly rate | The firm's wordsNot ready to instruct a solicitor, but need specific legal advice or general guidance? We offer an initial hour long, fixed fee meeting with one of our experienced probate solicitors priced at £225 + VAT (£270), fully refundable should you choose to instruct Thomas Dunton after this meeting. |

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.
