If there are any trusts in the Will (there are automatic trusts if any beneficiary is under 18) or there is any possibility of Inheritance Tax being due, we strongly advise against trying to do it yourself. The penalties for getting it wrong are both personal to the executor and potentially substantial. The Tax Penalties can be up to the full amount of the tax payable – so the estate still pays, and then executors may pay again from their own pockets as a penalty. Be aware that Inheritance Tax calculations may pull things back into the estate which were given away as long ago as 14 years. Good records are crucial, and contacting our recommended Inheritance Tax planning advisers in advance could save a fortune. But even after the event, they may well be able to save tax, at least for future generations. There are links to the main Inheritance Tax forms below.
Doing it yourself can save money, especially on simple estates, but we would not recommend it where there may be disagreements or if there is any possibility of Inheritance Tax now or when the survivor dies. You can (still) call 0300 123 1072 to request forms, but be aware it is sometimes just an answering machine! Probate, how much does it cost?
However, not all estates are as simple as they may at first sight appear. If there is any doubt, you might wish to consider using one of the relatively low-cost professional services we can introduce you too. After all, the costs can be recovered from the estate.
Unless you have some expertise, we would certainly not recommend tackling any estate with a Trust in it, or where Inheritance Tax might become payable. Feel free to give us a call if you are not certain if the estate is simple or not.

Inheritance Tax Forms process.
What you have to do and forms you have to fill in for probate. It is relatively unusual for family executors to be comfortable handling estates where Inheritance Tax may become an issue. The penalties for getting it wrong are substantial and family executors may miss opportunities to reduce IHT with the use of a deed of variation. We have advisers who can help you look for such opportunities and we have even written a book on the subject of IHT (currently out of print as we are too busy to update it).
Probate form PA3 – Probate Fees.
The following probate forms we would recommend that you do not use without professional advice: call us and we will pass your enquiry on to a suitable professional with reasonable fees.
This would have helped you, pre Covid, to choose which Probate Registry Office and interview (rare now) location you wish to use in England and Wales. G Most registries are either closed or closed to visitors, so not all are listed to avoid confusion. Or use our own guide.

We have collected links to these forms above to help you. For paper copies, ring the Probate Form Section on 0300 123 1072 option 1 and leave name address and a request for probate forms on the answerphone (I am not sure if this option still works – try 0117 930 2430 which takes messages out of hours.
Local registries prefer you to use 0300 123 1072 rather than tie up specialist staff to send out forms.
