Explanatory note

This Order provides for the increase of certain fees payable in non-contentious probate matters in the principal registry and district registries. For convenience this Order replaces the entire schedule of fees payable in non-contentious probate matters in the principal registry and district registries. Where a fee has been increased it has been increased by the cumulative rate of Consumer Price Index inflation since that fee was last increased.

The original fees and the rates of inflation since the last fee increase are detailed in the Explanatory Memorandum which is published on the website of the Office of Public Sector Information along with a full impact assessment which was prepared for this Order.
