After my husband died a year ago I started to do the probate myself and was told by the Probate Office that inheritance tax would probably need to be paid. I did some research and then decided to use a well known national company who offer a fixed fee plus the cost of disbursements. After a free hour’s video call with an adviser my family and I were told the fee and I decided to go ahead. The case handler was excellent , I got to know him well and could choose how we communicated. It was a large estate with a house, investments, gifts made less than seven years previously and a will that involved trusts. There was no inheritance tax to pay and the total cost was under £3000.
