HOW MUCH DOES GRANT OF PROBATE COST IN 2022?

To use the online probate service, a Pay By Account (PBA) account will need to be opened, which links you with MyHMCTS’s fee account system, where you can pay for your online probate application. Once registered as an executor or administrator, you will be able to start your online probate application.

Once you have had the deceased’s assets – property and possessions – valued and reported to HMRC, you can apply for a grant of probate online. The current fee is £215, and it can be paid online through MyHMCTS’s when you submit your application. If the value of the estate is lower than £5,000, MyHMCTS waives this fee.

It is advisable to order extra copies of your grant of probate as they will be needed during the process of administering the deceased’s estate. There is a cost for this as well, which is currently 50p per copy.

At Probates Online, we offer a will writing service or a Complete Estate Service to help you through the probate process and estate administration upon the death of a loved one.
