Compare using My Probate Partner with using a Solicitor for Probate in Scotland
At a glance comparison
In-depth comparison
If you use a solicitor, you will have to:
Sign up as their client and pass a background check
Provide them with all the information about the person who died and their estate
Pass information to them that arrives by post from various organisations
Attend their office more than once to sign various forms and documents
Repeatedly ask for progress updates if you want to stay in the loop
Make decisions about which assets to sell or transfer
(you may need to deal with any physical items like vehicles and houses)
Wait for an average of 6–12 months for your case to complete, sometimes much longer
When all the work is done, you will usually receive a bill equivalent to
between 2% and 5% of the estate value plus VAT, plus property costs, plus 3rd party costs (like court fees)
This means if the estate is worth £100,000 you might expect to pay between
£3000 and £7000 plus property costs.
