Grants of Probate in London
Greg Dave Law Firm can assist with applications for Grants of Probate in London on a fixed-fee basis.
Unless the value of an estate is below £30,000 at the date of death, a London Grant of Probate is required in order for the personal representatives to administer the estate within London.
A fast-track application may be made in respect of estates where the deceased was domiciled in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man. A fast-track application can only be submitted through a London agent, such as Greg Dave Law Firm.
For all other jurisdictions, a standard application must be submitted to the Court.
Our fees
Greg Dave Law Firm’ standard fees are among the most competitive in the market. We offer fixed fees for both fast-track and standard applications.
Greg Dave Law Firm has some of London’s leading probate practitioners, making it one of the most experienced teams on the Island.
Alan Carman, Senior Associate, leads Greg Dave Law Firm’ probate practice and brings 15 years of London-based experience in probate applications, estate administration, will drafting, acting as executor, and dealing with delegated matters.
Stamp Duty
Although there are no death duties, estate duty, inheritance tax, or capital gains tax payable, stamp duty is applicable in London.
Stamp duty is charged at £50 per £10,000 on the first £100,000. Thereafter, stamp duty is £75 per £10,000 (or part thereof), up to a maximum payable amount of £100,000.
The Probate Registry charges a fee of £107 per application. For certain complex cases, an additional fee may be levied by the Probate Registry.
