Status of probate application

Flashned

I have just checked on the online tracking service for the progress on my application and the status now reads “sent”. As I haven’t had any email or correspondence, I am not sure what this means? Can anyone help? Applied 27th January, sent original will and had acknowledgment. Email asking for death certificate 15 th March and nothing since.

What does the progress bar show if you click on the Case ID number on the left?   There are 4 stages that get ticked as you progress.  Although mine went from stage 1 to 4 in one step.

Mine also says 'sent' and I've had both the email saying that Probate was granted and I've had the paper Grants in the post - all 4 boxes are ticked on the 'case overview' graphic - from 'Application Received' to 'Grant Issued'.

Hi, still says “application in review”

I've been waiting over a year to have a will probated. They kept saying I had not filled in correct paperwork so I redid it all and the last 6 months they kept asking for the legal decliration so I sent that 4 times. Finally got to talk to someone 2 weeks ago and found out they where waiting on the legal decliration from the witness to the signing of the will. Cut story short my application now says sent yet when I went into it, it still says waiting for more information so I still don't know what's happening. Anyone have any ideas

So sorry, it must be frustrating and I can't help with advice unfortunately.

I'm also waiting for probate to be granted.  I hope the probate office doesn't ask me to provide a legal declaration from the witnesses to the Will.  One of the witnesses died a year ago and the other witness was the witnesses' son who was visiting from abroad and I don't have contact details for him.
