IN THIS LESSON

Fees are something you don't want to think about, but it's important to know what to expect.

Depending on how much the estate is worth, depends on any fees you may have to pay. We’ve outlined below what the fees could be, but if you’re unsure, visit the government website!

What fee may I have to pay?

If the estate is valued over £5,000 you will have to pay a £300 fee to apply for probate. If it is less than £5,000 there is no fee.

When you have your probate documents, if you want more copies, there is a fee of £1.50 each time. This can be helpful if you need to send probate documents to more than one organisation at the same time.

How can I get help with the fees?

Don’t worry, the government has a probate help email, which is probatehelpwithfees@justice.gov.uk

There is also a full page on the government website outlining how to get help with fees online.
