Take Control of the Probate Process

Finding a good probate consultant in the UK involves doing some research and considering several factors to ensure you’re working with a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy professional. Here’s how you can go about finding a good probate consultant:

Understanding the Role of a Probate Consultant

A probate consultant typically helps you manage the legal, financial, and administrative aspects of administering an estate after someone has passed away. Their role may include applying for probate, valuing assets, dealing with inheritance tax, and ensuring that the estate is distributed according to the will or the law. It’s important to clarify what specific services you need, as this will help you choose the right consultant.

Probate consultants and lawyers may charge in various ways, such as:

• Fixed fees: A set amount for specific services.
• Hourly rates: Based on the time spent managing the estate.
• Percentage of the estate: Often a percentage of the value of the estate, although this is becoming less common and may be capped.

Ask for a detailed breakdown of fees upfront and ensure there are no hidden costs.

Here at Probate Made Easy we do not charge variable fees. We charge a fixed fee for the probate service so there are no hidden suprises and we can maximise the value of the inheritance for you and the beneficiaries.  

In short, no. As probate consultants we work with a variety of lawyers to ensure probate is executed quickly and efficiently. Our choice of lawyer will depend on the nature and complexity of the probate process. You do not incur any additional fees with the lawyer so you can be confident that your only costs are those fixed fees we quote (plus any disbursements such as probate registration fee).  In any case you will save a substantial amount of money by engaging our services over those of a more traditional lawyer, and your probate will be handled much more quickly. 

Certainly you could. But you would still need to engage a lawyer to go through the actual probate application process. Plus the process itself involves a lot of form filling and administrative work, not to mention the complex legal jargon that can confuse a lot of people. Its far too easy to make a mistake and that will create a considerable delay in the process of granting probate. We handle all of that for you. And that’s not something you want to be worrying about during a period of grief.  We bring certainty and closure to an administrative process that can often be upsetting, tedious and very time consuming. Combined with the fact that our service will be much more cost effective, then choosing ProbateMadeEasy is a simple, easy and sensible choice. To get started simply schedule a consultation with one of our compassionate and friendly experts who will guide you through the process and how it works.
