If you’re an Executor or Administrator of an estate, two significant changes to probate fees in England and Wales are coming into effect from 13 July 2026.
The cost of applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration will rise from £300 to £526 an increase of more than 75%.
Copies requested when you submit your application will cost just £2 each (down from £16). However, if you order extra copies later, they’ll still cost £16 each.
Planning ahead is now more important than ever. Ordering the right number of Grant copies at the application stage could save both money and time during the estate administration process.
