Why Should I Make A Declaration Of Trust?
A Grant of Probate is not always required if an estate is less than £5,000. It will be required if there is a property to sell or transfer, if there is a bank account to close with more than £10,000 – £15,000 in it, if there are stocks and shares to sell, or if the deceased did not leave a Will.
The process is conducted in four distinct stages, which are detailed in the attached PDF. Click the button below to view this in a new tab.
Most Probate Solicitors charge on an hourly basis together with a percentage of the estate and fees can reach over £10,000. You will never pay more than £4,500 with us (plus disbursements which will be agreed with you at the outset of the matter).
On average, a solicitor will charge between 2% and 4% of the estate's value plus an hourly charge – this is roughly around £15,000 for a £500k estate.
How a property is owned is an important aspect when organising ownership now and for when it is passed on in the future. Setting it up correctly can save hundreds and thousands and save on heartache.
