A trustworthy, local solicitor is often needed in times of stress and worry – so the last thing you want to be concerned about is unknown and the unexpected costs. For certain costs, we can give you a guide on this website but there are some processes which vary significantly dependent on your needs. Please call us on 01782 444204 for an open and honest discussion as to the fees involved.
At Clowes Solicitors, we are proud that we have a reputation of being extremely thorough. Our clients know that we will take the time to explain just how things will work and what the process entails. We work with our clients to ensure that we have covered all of the basics and go into further detail where appropriate. That’s so important when dealing with matters of Probate.
In England and Wales, Probate is the word that is normally used to describe the legal and financial processes involved in dealing with the assets (property, money and possessions) of a person who has died. Like most legal areas, Probate comes at a testing and sad time; a time when our much-appreciated openness and transparency really is needed. That’s why our fees are based on both a fixed and variable rate basis, and why you’ll get our expertise every step along the way.
If there are any additional fees, then examples of these and/or disbursements (payments which we pay to third parties on your behalf as part of the process) are outlined below.
The length of these legal processes can vary from start to finish. Accurate timescales will be given after initial consultations have taken place on your individual case.
This website provides examples of the average costs and fees involved with these types of legal matters. But each client has their own set of circumstances and so there will be occasions when exceptional circumstances add to the complexity and time taken to reach a conclusion. We will always keep you fully informed of any change in costs and circumstances and explain why, too. In these situations, our fees may exceed those quoted above, but we will notify you in advance if we need to exceed an original estimate.
