Grant of Probate - where is it?

2 Posts

Hello, am a bit stuck on obtaining the grant of probate and any help greatly appreciated.
We have filled in the application online and then the IHT400 that was asked for.
After a while we received a letter in December from HMRC that said:
'Thank you for your form IHT 400, Inheritance account.
We have emailed your form IHT 421, 'Probate Summary' to HM Courts and Tribunals Service, so you can get your grant. We are no longer able to return the form IHT 421 to you or send a stamped copy.'
I've rang & emailed the HM Courts & Tribunal Service, and the HMRC, but had no reply (or can't get through).
I have no idea where the grant is or how to get it.
Not sure where to turn next.
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried replying to the e-mail to say you have not heard anything and ask if they can check it for you?
Though the online submission covered this, followed by the IHT400 various forms - but not so.
Will fill in this form and send.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
But advice from the probate webchat can be random at best so it might be a good idea to double check.
If you previously paid the application fee then you may be starting a second application so it might be worth having another webchat and providing any reference numbers that you have from your original application.
Do you have an probate online account and password and does the web page https://www.apply-for-probate.service.gov.uk/dashboard show your application?
