Bristol Probate FAQs
From the initial meeting to the delivery of the estate to single or multiple beneficiaries, most probate cases take around 6 months to complete. However, if there are complex issues around the estate administration, the deceased’s assets or your individual circumstances, it may take longer. In some cases, including contentious probate, probate application processes can take up to two years before they are fully completed.
Our team of local, dedicated probate solicitors will do everything in their power to speed up the process on your behalf. Legacy’s specialist probate lawyers offer long-term support, advice and professional legal services to ensure your probate application moves forward as quickly as possible.
The cost of Bristol probate depends on a range of factors, including the complexity of the deceased’s estate, and the presence of other intangible assets. While you can get a grant of probate for a fixed fee, it’s usually better to choose a bespoke pricing that works for you and your family. You’ll also discover that, in certain circumstances, many fixed fee solicitors rely on potential additional costs, which can actually cost more than bespoke pricing.
A fixed fee probate service is rarely able to deal with complicated estates, and you’re much better served by choosing a probate solicitors that offers practical support, ongoing practice management and grant of probate completion than looking for an exact cost.
Yes, you can. Whether you’re the executor named in a will, or the next of kin in a letters of administration case, you can file a grant of probate application in Bristol and the surrounding areas.
