The charges of an advocates varies with particular advocates.

You have wrongly heard about the costs. It is not so exorbitant.

There is no need to avail the services of a lawyer for the drafting the will rather you may get this done from Deed writer who charge very nominal charges and registration charges are also very nominal.

In Kolkatta, will requires probate the stamp duty upon which is hardly 2% of value.

In Kolkata, the court fees for Probate is not 2%.

Rather it depends upon the value of the property and the highest being Rs 50,000/- irrespective of the value of property.

If you can get it done yourself, no need of an advocate.

You have been rightly advised about probate charges.
