In our news article dated 14th March 2017 we reported the Government’s plans to significantly increase Probate Fees, the principle of which has been highly criticised. It was reported at the end of last week that those plans have now been abolished so from now on at least there won’t be any changes with Probate Fees remaining at £215 per application (with a reduction to £155 if solicitors are acting). "This is very welcome news" comments Richard Greasby, head of Butler Sherborn’s professional valuation work.
