Slight Mistake on Grant of Probate

Another of my hypothetical questions: what happens if a Grant of Probate is issued and there is some minor spelling mistake? For example 1 Pudleduck Lane instead of 1 Puddleduck Lane (with an additional d).
Are these classed as 'slip of pen' errors? Anyone had experience of this?

    It depends on the exact mistake. In the case of your hypothetical it would be of no consequence.

    Yes, I suppose this would be the case. As with a will, if the individual can be correctly identified, then it is a simple 'slip of pen' error.
