Grants of Probate in Jersey

Pinel Advocates can assist with applications for Grants of Probate in Jersey on a fixed fee basis. 

Unless the value of an estate is worth less than £30,000 at the date of death, a Jersey Grant of Probate is required to enable the personal representatives to administer the Jersey estate.

A fast track application may be made in for estates of deceased persons dying domiciled in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.  A fast track can only be made through a Jersey agent, such as Pinel Advocates.

For other jurisdictions, a standard application must be made to the Court.

Stamp Duty

While there are no death duties, estate duty, inheritance tax or capital gains tax, stamp duty is payable in Jersey.

Stamp duty of £50 per £10,000 is payable for the first £100,000. Thereafter, stamp duty would be charged at £75 for each £10,000 (or part thereof), to a maximum stamp duty payable of £100,000.

The Probate Registry will charge a fee of £80 per application.  For certain complex matters, an additional fee of £75.00 may be charged.
