Court fees

The Sheriff Clerk does not charge for advice, information or completing the inventory and other documents. However, you may need to pay the statutory Court fee for issuing Confirmation. The fee is payable whether or not a solicitor is acting. It is based on the gross (pre-tax) value of the estate:

Fee if the value of the estate is £5,000 or less

Nil

Fee if the value of the estate is £5,001 - £50,000

£190

Certificates of Confirmation

£5 each

The limits and fees are changed periodically so you should ask what fee will be payable when you telephone the Sheriff Clerk's Office to arrange an appointment.
