When a loved one dies, it is a difficult time for everyone involved. One of the most important tasks that needs to be completed is probate, which is the legal process of transferring the deceased person’s assets to their heirs.

Probate can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it can be expensive. There are a number of different ways to pay for probate, including hourly rates, flat fees, and percentage fees.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards fixed-fee probate services. Fixed-fee probate offers a set price for the entire probate process, regardless of how long it takes or how complex it is.

How does a fixed-fee probate service work?

A fixed-fee probate service typically works by charging a flat fee for the entire probate process. In addition to the legal fee there will typically be, probate court fees and any other fees payable to third parties associated with probate. You will be informed of these at the start of the matter when the fixed fee is agreed. Generally, this means there will be no additional costs, but it is always best to check with the probate solicitor on this.
