Probate question - no response from solicitors

Apologies Beecher, it does seem to. I think I've got the idea. Thanks for that

Personally I think you should try to stop worrying and pressing for details, and be prepared to wait.
The letter that GM suggested is a good one though.
I appreciate you want to understand the processes and it is good to educate oneself.
However this will take as long as it takes. There are many unknowns. But the fact that the property was already on the market and your offer was accepted suggest that the executors, as vendors, are likely to want the sale to go ahead in a timely manner.
I was once in a similar position as a vendor. We were glad our buyers stuck it out. We managed to get everything sorted in about 4 months and the sale went ahead. It is unlikely to be any faster.
If that is outside your timescale, then you may want to walk away.
