PROBATE FEES FOR LARGE ESTATES RISE TO £6,000

摘要

Plans to hike the cost of grants of probate with banded fees have been given the green light by the government with an entry level £750 charge. The new probate fees, due to come into force from April 2019, will see a banded system of probate fees for all estates valued over £50,000. This will hit larger estates valued at over £1 m with a £6,000 bill, although original proposals to charge up to £20,000 for estates worth over £2m has been dropped.
