If only there was a better way.
There is. Welcome to Sail Probate.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Grant of Probate is not always required if an estate is less than £5,000. It will be required if there is a property to sell or transfer, if there is a bank account to close with more than £10,000 – £15,000 in it, if there are stocks and shares to sell, or if the deceased did not leave a Will.

Most Probate Solicitors charge on an hourly basis together with a percentage of the estate and fees can reach over £10,000. You will never pay more than £4,500 with us (plus disbursements which will be agreed with you at the outset of the matter).
On average, a solicitor will charge between 2% and 4% of the estate's value plus an hourly charge – this is roughly around £15,000 for a £500k estate.
