The approach
Cross-border administration begins by identifying each jurisdiction’s role. The law governing succession, the court with jurisdiction and the documents needed by a particular bank or register are related questions, but they are not interchangeable.

How fees and timing are established
The office first reviews the people, assets, documents and jurisdictions involved. It can then confirm the proposed scope of work, how fees will be calculated and any payment stages before substantive work begins. No fee or outcome is implied by this website.
Timing depends on the documents available, the authority required, the institutions involved, property-registration steps, overseas evidence and whether anything is disputed. After the initial review, the office can identify the immediate steps and the factors likely to affect the timetable.
