Losing a loved one is a difficult experience, and managing their estate should not add further stress or financial uncertainty. At PKWA Law, we believe that legal services for probate and estate administration must be transparent, efficient, and affordable. That is why we offer an all-inclusive, fixed-fee structure for obtaining the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration in Singapore.
Our commitment to fixed fees means you receive full legal guidance without the fear of hidden charges or escalating costs, allowing you to focus on your family during a sensitive time.
Our Fixed-Fee Structure for Probate and Letters of Administration
According to a survey by Singapore Legal Advice:
“In general, the probate fees in Singapore for a simple non-contentious probate matter can range from about S$2,000 to S$6,500 depending on how a lawyer calculates his fees and the time required to complete the work. Complex cases such as those with many assets or beneficiaries, or involve foreigners and/or overseas assets will also cost more. LOA applications tend to cost more than GOP applications as well due to the additional work and effort required by the lawyers.”
At PKWA Law, we have simplified our pricing into clear tiers based on the value and complexity of the estate. All fees are fixed and made known upfront, ensuring you know the exact cost from the very beginning.
- S$1,390 – For estates valued under S$500,000, with no property or minority interests.
- S$2,390 – For estates valued under S$3 million.
- Larger Estates – Fees are determined by the estate’s value and complexity but are always fixed and made known upfront.
Why Choose a Fixed-Fee Approach?
- No Hidden Costs: The fee covers our professional services for preparing, filing, and obtaining the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration from the Court.
- Predictable Budgeting: You can budget accurately for legal expenses without worrying about hourly billing or surprise invoices.
- Focus on Efficiency: Our system is built to process uncontested applications quickly. In most cases, our experienced probate team can obtain the Grant within 4 to 6 weeks, allowing you to proceed with asset distribution promptly.
