Due to an increase in the probate application fee to £526 now £300 from the 13th July 2026. This recovers the cost of an ever-improving service, and the new cost accounts for rising inflation as well as investment in delivering an efficient and modern service.
A reduced fee will be introduced for requesting copies of probate documents concurrently with a probate application, so that, instead of £16, the fee will only be £2. This will better reflect the cost of that service.
