Edgar Wagner - the accountants might be right, probate may just be a mechanical exercise they can do just as well. Or they might miss the case of the invalid will, Inheritance Act claim etc. If it's the latter, there will be claims work. At the moment, their PII is generally far cheaper than ours, but that is only down to claims experience. It may change. There is no obvious reason why PII should, in the long term, be cheaper for an accountant doing probate than a solicitor.
