Slight error in probate estate value - can it be corrected?

shiraz99

Having just received my grant of probate I've noticed that I made a slight accounting error on the net estate value and swapped around a couple of digits, instead of a value of £215,700 I incorrectly put £217,500 on the application which is now reflected on the grant. Can this be corrected and more to the point, is it really worth bothering about?

I have all the records and documentation to show what the correct figure should be so I'm not worried on that score if I have to account for the slight shortfall,

It’s an error of less than 1% on an estate well below the IHT threshold. I can’t imagine HMRC or the Probate Office are going to be interested. Are any of the beneficiaries likely to be concerned and not accept the explanation of a transition of two digits? If not, I’d leave it.
