What affects probate solicitor quotes?
Probate costs depend heavily on whether you need grant-only assistance or fuller estate administration. Property, tax, beneficiaries, estate complexity and disputes can all affect the amount of work involved.
Grant-only or full administration
Grant-only help is usually more limited. Full estate administration may involve collecting assets, paying debts and distributing the estate.
Property, tax and assets
Property, inheritance tax, multiple accounts or business assets can increase the amount of work required.

Common questions
Do I always need a solicitor for probate?
Not always. Some executors deal with straightforward estates themselves, but legal help may be useful where the estate is complex, taxable, disputed or includes property.
What is the difference between grant-only and estate administration?
Grant-only work is usually limited to obtaining the grant of probate. Estate administration can include gathering assets, paying debts and distributing the estate.
How long does probate take?
Timescales vary depending on the estate, tax position, documents, property and whether any issues arise.
Can I compare probate quotes before applying?
Yes. It is sensible to understand likely cost, scope and service before deciding who to instruct.
