The Government’s aim in moving from a costs recovery basis fee to an enhanced fee is to generate additional income to be used to fund the court service generally. However, there has been much discussion about whether the level of the proposed increased fee is such that it effectively amounts to taxation, although the Government considers that the increase in fees is necessary to provide funds to modernise and update the justice system generally. When do these fees apply? The personal representatives1 of a deceased individual have to administer that individual’s estate and will, in many cases,2 have to apply for a grant of representation3 in order to be able to prove that they are legally authorised to do so.4 The grant is issued by the Probate Service which is part of HM Courts and Tribunal Service and a fee is payable when the application for a grant is made. Before making the application an inheritance tax account has to be submitted to HMRC (unless it is an excepted estate) and HMRC must issue a receipt. Between 1981 and 1999 the application fee for a grant was based on the net value of the estate. For an estate worth £100,000 the fee for a general grant was £250 but the fee increased (with no upper limit) by £50 for every £100,000 (or part thereof) for estates worth more than £100,000. Since 1999, however, the application fee has been set at a flat rate (currently £215 if made by an individual or £155 if made by a solicitor).
