    Going round in circles here...they e mail requesting more info but not what info they want......e mailed back 3 times asking what they want but no reply......phoning is a joke as it tells me to go online and e mail.....any ideas how to physically get in touch with them?
    If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat. :beer::beer:

    Oh look what I found: https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/ - very new service and very helpful but it doesn't make probate go any quicker I'll be checking this every day for the next 6 weeks or so probably?!

    My wife’s aunt died on the 28th August with no will and probate was granted to her son on the 11th September! Having just applied for probate for my mum’s estate I’ll bet it takes longer than that for them to acknowledge receipt of the will I sent off on Monday.

    I used that tool at that link to check for my dad's probate regularly during the first half of 2022. I still have the link saved in my browser too.
