I must be lucky , but it was an estate where no IHT was payable. I submitted forms on 7th April and received a call on 15th April from Winchester Probate Registry stating that they had received the IHT421 direct, could we send the sworn Oath so that they can process. I wondered if they had changed steps but maybe not.
On a separate note I have spoken to HMRC on another matter and was advised that steps that were taking 5 working days now will be taking 12 weeks!
