CLA reaction to MPs 'unlawful' probate ruling
Date published: 07 April 2017
The CLA is calling on government to rethink their proposed changes to probate fees, which an influential parliamentary committee has ruled is unlawful.
CLA President Ross Murray has said: “The changes act essentially as another tax on death, and bear no relation to the cost of the service provided. The Ministry of Justice should feel ashamed about seeking to impose a back door tax on the bereaved, and this issue must now be subject to further parliamentary scrutiny.”
