The IHT421 on the government website says when you leave the name and address box blank on page 1 then HMRC will send the IHT421 direct to the Probate Registry. I recently submitted a Grant application to Cardiff Probate Registry and Brighton Probate Registry responded. In their e-mail, it said
" …you are aware we are waiting on the IHT 421 to be returned to us. Please ensure that HMRC either send this to Brighton directly, or email it to our centralised email address (contactprobate@justice.gov.uk)".
