# The Non-Contentious Probate Fees (Amendment) Order 2009, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Non-Contentious Probate Fees Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/3120 (L.22)) as follows:
(a) Schedule 1A is replaced by an amended Schedule 1A so that the provisions for remission and part-remission of fees are consistent with those that apply in other court fee orders.
(b) it increases the amounts that may be deducted from a party’s gross monthly income for living expenses. The amount that a party may deduct rises from £296 to £315. The amount for each child of the party rises from £228 to £244 and the amount that may be deducted if the party has a partner rises from £150 to £159.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
