Anyone know how long, on average, probate is taking to issue for Solicitor application?
 
last year, personal applications were taking 8/9 weeks. I applied in May, Probate in July.
 
Interesting; Solicitor applications are generally faster than personal ones.
 
Wondering if it is possible to find out the status of a probate application. It was submitted by our solicitor last December. According to the solicitor it is not possible to contact the Probate office or email them as they will not reply.
How then can you ever know where you are in the system if that is the case.
 
Thanks. This list is the grants that are finalised.
So until you appear on this list, is there no way of knowing the status of your application? I.e. started, in process, out for queries?? Tks

See post # 6 with link to online search.

If you want a copy of the documents you have to print a form (an excel sheet in fact) and post in a hard copy along with a cheque. Seems incredibly quaint in this day and age.

To apply for copy documents you must fully complete this Order Form and pay the relevant fee. It is your responsibility to ensure that you pay the correct fee. Failure to do so will mean your request will not be processed.

You may send the completed Order Form and pay the fee in the following ways:
1. Solicitors must pay fees in stamped court fees. These may be obtained from the stamping offices located in various court offices around the country;
2. Members of the public may pay fees with Postal/Money Orders, or by cheques made payable to the Courts Service.
For District Probate Registries, please contact the relevant District Probate Registry for information on payment methods.

I suspect they don't really want to make it too easy to be looking up the wills of your neighbours and relatives.
 
I doubt it's anything so thought through; they've just never automated the process like birth / marriage / death certificates.
 
I have been waiting 2 years for the Probate office to complete 2 parts of property transfer.
I wonder are they answerable to anyone higher up in DOJ?
I am thinking of suing them for any loss caused by the delays.
 
What has the Probate office got to do with transfer of property?

Was there a will? Do you have Grant of Probate?
 
Complicated - half left in a will, to a brother who then made no will, other half in another deceased name.
Yes, grant of probate is made.
They keep coming back with queries, each taking up to 12 weeks to turnaround, on Probate side.
I think its combination of bureaucracy, pedantics and laziness.
