Probate & Administration of Estates

Ella Millett Legal Solicitors can help you administer the estate of a loved one who has died. It’s a very difficult time for you and your family, and you may not wish — or feel able — to deal with it yourself.

We can help whether your loved one left a Will or not, and we’ve spent nearly two decades efficiently administering estates. We can deal with the whole process for you, or just the parts you’d like help with, entirely subject to your instructions.

We’ve saved many clients Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax by advising them of their options at the right time, and we’ll work with you throughout to make sure you have peace of mind that everything has been dealt with properly.

Our fees

• Grant only, you provide the asset details — from £995 + VAT
• Grant only with form IHT400, no tax payable — from £2,500 + VAT
• Grant only with form IHT400, tax payable — from £3,500 + VAT
• Grant and full administration — typically around 2% of the estate’s value, or our hourly rate from £270 + VAT, agreed with you in advance

Where we handle the full administration, our fees and disbursements can usually be paid from the estate, so there’s no upfront cost to you. See our full fees page for the complete breakdown.
