Slide Cost Banner HOW MUCH DOES IT COST

Below we have outlined a sample of typical fees charged. Everything is negotiable and every case is different so please contact us to discuss yours and we will provide you with a written quotation.

In contentious litigation we will always seek to recover our full costs from the other party.

Wills:

Standard Will prices start at €100.00 plus VAT

Probate:

We charge Probate fees based on the type and complexity of the estate and usually between 1% to 2.5% of the value of the estate. In situations where the matter is very straightforward e.g where a surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary and there is a relatively small estate, we will usually charge below the above scale.

COSTS GENERALLY

Solicitors’ fees and legal costs are normally calculated by reference to a number of factors including the following:

In addition to professional fees and miscellaneous charges payable to the solicitor, there will be items of outlay payable to third parties, including government agencies, which must be discharged by you.

LITIGATION

If your solicitor is dealing with a contentious matter for you, the law requires the following explanation to be given to you:

The amount which defendant or other third party may agree or may be ordered to pay will not generally be sufficient to set off your solicitors entire charges. Insofar as the cost recovered from the other third parties are insufficient to discharge your liability to you solicitor, then you remain liable to make up the shortfall.

POSSIBLE LIABILITY TO PAY COSTS OF OTHER PARTIES

Even where your solicitor is satisfied that you have a good case, the law requires that it is explained to you that, in the event of the following circumstances arising, you may be liable to pay, in addition to your own costs, the cost of the defendant or other third parties.

INTERIM BILLING

Charges in relation to your case will be accruing as the case progresses. Some solicitors make an arrangement with their clients that, rather than furnishing one Bill at the conclusion of the case, they will furnish interim bills on a regular basis. The amount billed should be paid within the usual credit terms of your solicitors firm.
