How much does obtaining Probate cost?
Much depends upon who obtains it. A solicitor will charge for their time. If you do it yourself then you have the Probate Office’s fees of £90 and the need to swear on oath that your submission is correct, accurate and honest etc – possibly costing another £10, giving a total cost of <£100. Solicitors usually charge a % of the whole estate (typically 2 to 3%), whilst Banks charge 3 to 5% - with minimum fees applying.
