NEW PROBATE FEES SCRAPPED !
You have possibly heard that Probate fees were due to increase on 1st May 2017 for all estates over £50,000. The table below sets out the new proposed fee structure. These have now been “shelved” for the time-being – given the current general election. They were not generally popular and therefore, hopefully, they will not be making a reappearance.
| Value of estate | Fee required |
| 0-£50,000 | Nil |
| £50,001-£300,000 | £300 |
| £300,001-£500,000 | £1000 |
| £500,001-£1,000,000 | £4000 |
| £1,000,001-£1,600,000 | £8000 |
| £1,600,001-£2,000,000 | £12,000 |
| £2,000,001 or more | £20,000 |
