The government intends to raise the Court fee for an application for a Grant of Probate from a flat rate of £155 to a sliding scale (according to the value of the estate) under which the cost can rise to £6,000. If this passes through Parliament it will come into force for any application for Probate made from April 2019. If you are dealing with the affairs of someone who has died you need to make every effort to submit your application before the deadline date.
