Our Fees

Most of our services are provided on a fixed fee basis to make prices as simple as possible. For non-fixed fee work, we charge based on the time spent on your matter in accordance with our hourly rates applicable at the time. Depending on the service you select, your case will be managed by our solicitors, case managers, and paralegals and supported by our administrators. Each case is allocated to the most appropriate team member, all of which have many years of experience. From the outset, it will be made clear who your primary contact will be.

​

All appointments can be sat via telephone or virtually to suit you. We offer services in multiple languages, including Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu. If you have hearing loss or a speech impediment, we are happy to take instructions via Relay UK. We welcome all customers and will do our best to accommodate any additional needs you may have.

Hand everything over to an SRA Regulated solicitor who will keep you informed throughout the entire process and assume all legal liability for the administration of the estate. Generally, there are several stages when carrying out estate administration. We will carry out the following;

  1. Write to institutions to establish the value of the estate

  2. Collate all information and prepare Inheritance Tax forms, and where applicable, pay Inheritance Tax

  3. Apply for the Grant of Administration, also known as the Grant of Probate

  4. Once the grant is issued, we will sell/transfer/collect all assets. This could include property, land, pensions, money and personal objects, for example

  5. Pay any debts or other liabilities

  6. Distribute the estate to the beneficiaries as set out in the deceased Will or by following the Rules of Intestacy if there isn't a valid Will.

For non-taxable estates, we estimate it will take between 9 to 12 months to administer. For estates where Inheritance Tax needs to be paid, we estimate it will take between 12 to 18 months. More complex cases could take longer. You can find more information on how Inheritance Tax is calculated here.
