Probate fees: Planned increase scrapped ahead of election - BBC News

Controversial and steep probate fee increases have been scrapped ahead of the upcoming general election. It's still always worth making sure your estate is in good order and plans are up to date in the event of death. Get in touch if you wish to discuss your own arrangements. Rebecca visits clients in their own homes and can take instructions remotely for those further afield. #probate #wills #election #getorganised #goodnewsforexecutors

The snap election means the controversial legislation cannot go through in time, ministers say.
