Wieder der Anwalt. Schickt eine Preislste vom Gericht und kalkuliert daraus einen Preis. Danach braucht er
also 40-50 Kopien, für wen auch immer. Werde ihr schreiben,daß ihr Anwalt sie betrügen will.
Dear xxxxxxx,
The forwarded mail is the probate application form and the attached fees as sent to me by the court when I applied.
By my calculation and based on the number of copies required to be submitted to various departments the total fee that should be sent to the court is
£1500 ($2500). I have also filled the form and ready to send it to the court once I get the fee of which receipt will be issued by the court on payment of such.
Thanks for your anticipated understanding and kind help to my client.
Regards,
Barr. K. Benson
