We are proud to offer estate administration (professional executor) services for no more than 1.5% of the estate’s value – that’s the very lowest end of the scale flagged up in the OFT’s consumer guidelines. We don’t believe that families and friends should lose out on the value of their loved-one’s estate at what is already a difficult time.
Chris Dingley is Co-Director of Collective Legal Solutions, our trusted partners for estate administration. He explains that we charge a maximum of 1.5% of the estate’s value when acting as probate – the lowest end of the OFT’s scale.. “When we act as the professional executor administering an estate, we typically charge 1% or less depending on the value of the estate,” he says, “but we never charge more than 1.5 per cent of the estate’s worth. This is the lowest end of the price scale according to the OFT. Not surprisingly, our average charge for probate services is less than £2,100, compared to the minimum price of £3,400 quoted by the OFT.”
We work with Collective Legal Solutions, who are experts in the field of inheritance planning and wealth protection. They provide a depth of specialist expertise ranging from will-writing, powers of attorney and probate, to trust funds, estate planning and chartered tax advice.
