Probate and certified sealed copy - difference.

North64

Hi,
I hope someone can help me please.

My mother died recently and I'm trying to challenge who has probate.

I'm clear I have to provide a copy of the probate to my local probate office.

My question - do I need to send a 'certified sealed copy of the grant of probate or letters of administration' or will the copy I've ordered from the Gov dot UK website - which cost £10 - be sufficient? I've seen these online being sold by third party websites.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

What exactly are you trying to challenge? When was probate granted?

In 2017. My sister was listed as executor of the will. I want to challenge that as she wanted to sell the house to her partner believing it could be could sold on instantly at a great profit.

As she already has probate I don!!!8217;t think you can undo that, but she does have a duty to obtain the best price she can for all beneficiaries, which means selling it on the open market. If she won!!!8217;t do that you need to take legal advice.

you need to look at removing an executor
