Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what estimate they have made of the annual cost of the Probate Registry and the yield from fee income.
This question was answered on 22nd February 2016
The cost of the Probate Registry in 2014/15 was £42.5m and the yield from fee income (after remission) was £41.5m.
The costs relate to probate for “non-contentious” cases, that is where the Will is not in dispute.
