    Hi we buying a probate house, probate registry have received application, probate solicitor can see something on his file but got to wait till it’s scanned over to his office, anyone know how long roughly we will have to wait now, not overly complicated, sole beneficiary thanks 
    If there's IHT involved. The HMRC may require an upfront payment against the liability before agreeing to the granting of  probate. This in itself can take a few weeks to resolve. 
    I asked was there any IHT to pay but unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to know which I understand, all I know is probate registry have now received application and we have had confirmation they have it, fingers crossed it won’t be long
