Probate in under 10 days

Life will never cease to amaze

Probate received in under 10 days after extensive delays from hmrc in getting code !!!

We’ll have to change what we advise clients to “probably somewhere between 10 days and 6 months”.

With simple applications they do seem to have finally got back to where they were before they started tinkering with everything about 7-8 years ago. Wish I could say the same for paper applications and anything remotely complex.

This was a paper application

Only complication was a lot of PETs

property & investments straightforward

We have had some where I have had an email from HMCTS to confirm they received posted documents and a few hours later had an email confirming probate issued.

These are all simple no IHT payable estates.
