Hi,
I’m the executor of my aunt's will. My aunt, who was unmarried,passed recently and she has left her estate to her four nieces / nephews (myself being one of them) in her will. My aunts estate has a total value of €1.05M , this consists of an apartment with a market value of €350,000 (which will be sold when probate is granted) and the remainder of her estate is in bank accounts.
As I have never been through the process of probate, etc…... before and being somewhat overwhelmed by the whole process, I approached my own solicitor about doing the necessary work involved and they provided me with a fixed fee quote in a Section 68 letter of €15,000 + VAT (which includes all outlays) to do the following work -
Regards,
JP

- Process the grant of probate application
- Do the conveyancing work re. the sale of the apartment when probate is granted
- Do the Revenue CAT returns for the four beneficiaries of the will on distribution of the estate.
