Annoyingly the solicitors who are holding my mum's will can't actually fit us in to see us and collect the original until 7th January. On the up side, the solicitors clerk who I spoke to was able to tell me there are no wishes or instructions regarding her funeral. So when we actually get a death certificate we can talk to the funeral director with some confidence about what should happen next. Still no sign of the phone call to arrange an appointment with the Registrar either. I'm really not hopeful about probate being a quick process now.... 😕 |

That's annoying, @LipGloss. What a palaver this whole process seems to be. (I'd love to understand what happens in other countries with other legal systems!)

We applied for probate in February and that’s it just came through.

My mum’s estate for all it was took no time at all. No probate, can’t even remember if there was a will. In Scotland back in 1995. Council house with nothing to sell.

Taking my mum out to a Christmas lunch tomorrow. The most stressful day of the year.

My wife was hoping to get it done by the end of the year when her father died 6 months ago. My comment: which year? Wouldn’t surprise me if we still have his house (what remains of it) into 2026. Which really was not the plan… |
