The fee for applying for a Grant of Probate in England and Wales is set to rise in May 2024.
Currently, it costs £273 per application as per The Non-Contentious Probate Fees Order 2004. The proposed new rate is £300. The change to the probate fee follows a government consultation paper published in November on “Implementing increases to selected court and tribunal fees”.
Kings Court Trust’s new blog covers:
- The response to this government consultation
- The wait times at the Probate Registry and the inquiry into their service
- How the fee increase will affect the probate service
