HOW MUCH DOES SEQUESTRATION COST?

When we wrote this booklet it cost £63 to start sequestration proceedings in court. Court fees can change every year, so you should contact the court to confirm the current fee. If you ask a solicitor to draw up and present the petition in court, they will charge you unless you are eligible for legal aid. The trustee will take other costs such as your fees and their expenses out of your assets. You will not have to pay for any of those costs directly.
