Probate Questionnaire

Estate administration is often complex and can take a lot of time. For this reason, appointing professionals to help you from the beginning can reduce the pressures on you. 

We know one of your main concerns may be the costs for our services which is why we have created this useful calculator which is designed to enable us to provide a more accurate quote for our professional fees for us dealing with the most common aspects of the administration process.

Once you have completed the calculator, our specialist team will be in touch and we can arrange an appointment with you so we can start the administration process.  We have a number of different services and pricing options so we can find the best fit for you.

If you have already completed the simple Probate Calculator on our firm's website and been provided with a link to complete this questionnaire then the information you have already provided will be automatically filled in to save you time.

Do not worry if you can't complete all of the questionnaire, just fill in what you can at this stage and we can assist with the rest.
