Affidavits replaced by Statements of Truth

Trusts Discussion
1

On 17 April the President of the Family Division announced that due to Covid, statements of truth could be used instead of affidavits in non-contentious probate processes until 30th July 2020. This was subsequently extended until 31 October 2020. I cannot find our whether this has been again extended. Are any members able to assist?

Thanks all.
