Looks like the Death Tax has died..

"The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has bowed to pressure and abandoned its plan for a dramatic increase in probate fees"

". It would have increased the cost of applying for a grant of probate from the current £215, or £155 for solicitors, to £6,000 for the largest estates – a difference of 3,770pc."

"main criticism of the proposed fee increase was that it was unfair and not proportional. The cost of administering a grant of probate is the same regardless of the size of an estate."

"Members of the House of Lords said the Government was abusing its power and even the Labour party said it would oppose the plans. " (my bold!)
