Online Probate Application Service

This is a cost effective service particularly suited to executors who are reasonably confident about dealing with the Probate but who, nevertheless, welcome guidance from a regulated, experienced expert at a key stage in the process

What is a Grant of Probate?

A Grant of Probate is an official document which may be needed to administer an estate where someone has passed away. Where there is no Will it will be referred to as a Grant of Letters of Administration.

Cost effective expert help to save time and hassle

You can apply for the Grant of Probate yourself; this will involve you obtaining the forms from Court, completing them and then attending Court for interview.

  • There is no need to attend a Court interview
  • You give us the briefest of details online about the person who passed away
  • We telephone you at a time convenient to you to confirm the other details we require

  • All you will need to do is sign the completed paperwork at a time convenient to you and we do the rest

  • A Probate court fee of £155 plus 50p per copy document required
