Our probate service assists executors and administrators with estate administration, including grant applications and asset distribution. Fixed fees start at 1,650 + VAT for straightforward cases, with hourly rates applying to complex estates. We guide clients through intestacy rules, handle disputes, and manage tax considerations. The process typically takes 45 months, depending on documentation availability and third-party responsiveness.
