Estate Probate Fee Estimator
Estimate solicitor and court fees for obtaining probate in the UK based on the gross estate value.
Loading Tool...
Applications
Used by individuals planning their estate, by executors managing probate, and by solicitors to provide clients with preliminary cost estimates for estate administration.
The Methodology
UK solicitor fees are calculated on a sliding scale (0.5%–4.5%) based on estate value, while HMCTS court fees range from £250 to £1,100 depending on the estate size. This tool combines both for a total estimate.
Fun Fact: The word 'probate' comes from the Latin 'probare', meaning 'to prove' — historically, probate was about proving the validity of a will before a court.
