When will I be interviewed ?
No appointment can be given until your application has
been examined and any queries resolved. You will then
be given the earliest available date at the interview venue
you have chosen. It is difficult to say how soon you will
be interviewed as the number of applications waiting to
be dealt with varies but, in straightforward cases, the
appointment will usually take place within a month of your
application being received. You will usually be able to get
an earlier appointment at one of the controlling Probate
Registries if required.
If we are unable to send you a notice of appointment
within 10 working days of receiving your application
you will normally be sent an acknowledgement of your
application.
Below are forms and guidance notes made available to you to guide you through the process of probate.
This information refers only to the law in England and Wales. If the deceased was permanently resident outside England and Wales another system of law may apply – this will be explained when we receive your application. If you need to apply for a Grant of Representation in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you should contact the court in the appropriate country.
