Probate fees
The government has abandoned its plans to increase probate fees. So the fixed fee of £155 for applications made by solicitors and the charge of £215 for those made by individuals for estates valued above £5 000 will remain. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: ‘We have listened to concerns around changes to those charged for probate and will look at them again as part of a wider review to make sure all fees are fair and proportionate.’
