How To Make Sure You Do not Lose Out On Probate Fees
Unlike other areas of law, the probate system is largely unregulated and without a little research and warning, you could lose out on your inheritance through probate fees.
As anyone who has to deal with the probate system is likely to have recently suffered a tragic loss, many people are too distraught to focus on things like probate fees when they enter into an agreement. This can mean that solicitors and banks secure contracts that give them a significant share of someone's inheritance, rather than a reasonable fee for what is usually a basic legal service.
There are several things you should look out for when securing a solicitor or firm for probate services that can help make sure you don't lose out on probate fees:
Obtain a fixed price quotation : Whilst many probate solicitors will claim that the system is too complex to provide a fixed quotation for their probate fees, the truth is that it's not impossible. Given that without a proper quote you won't know what the fee is until the bill arrives, it's worth finding a reputable service that will provide a written quotation based on the details of the Estate at outset of your arrangement, rather than at the end.
Ensure your charges are transparent : Banks, the UK's largest and traditional provider of probate services, charge a flat rate fee that is usually based on a percentage of the Estate value. This means that it doesn't change even if the deceased's Estate requires very little work - if their fee is 4%, it'll always be 4%. Sometimes their scales change depending on the value of the estate, rising to claim higher proportions of more valuable estates. Worse than this, some solicitors work on a 'cost per hour' basisas well as a percentage of the estate. Being dealt with on an arbitrary basis with the potential for hidden costs such as this is generally a bad idea and it's something you don't have to put up with.
Open your probate to tender : You don't have to directly arrange your estate through a single probate service. You can ensure that you get a competitive price based on the realities of your situation by engaging a probate broker, who will tender your Estate and requirements to a bidding process and provide you with the best possible quotation. Not only will this reduce probate fees by competition, it will also let you take full advantage of individual workloads.
