Fixed Fee Probate Quotation
Fixed Fee Probate Quotation
The probate process can be complex and extremely stressful if there are factors such as an international will, a high-value estate, if the deceased was a partner in a business, or if the will is contested.
A fixed fee probate quotation informs clients on exactly how much will be paid out of the estate.
The fixed fee for probate will cover all stages of probate, including collecting together all financial and property assets, valuing any property, obtaining probate, preparing accounts for the estate, paying any inheritance taxes and capital gains tax and distributing the assets to beneficiaries named in the will and we will not exceed our fixed fee estimate without first advising you in advance.
It is especially important to seek legal advice on probate if there are a large number of beneficiaries and bequests, as there may be complex tax implications where property and monies are being passed to immediate family and other beneficiaries, including charities or other causes.
Probate also involves a large amount of paperwork to be completed – and this is best completed by a Probate solicitor, as any errors or incomplete paperwork can delay probate and the distribution of an estate. Additionally, errors or inaccuracies when completing the tax documentation can result in severe penalties and repercussions to the Executors.
