How long did your probate take in 2022 / 2023?

User9943

As we reach the 20th week of waiting for probate I was wondering how long other people have been waiting. Any information you can offer would be great!

Might be better to post it on the probate board?

It can easily take 6 months or more

We've moved this to the relevant board.

I applied early October 2022 , finally approved end of may 2023 

That included a couple of questions from them slowing down the process

Approx 8 weeks, applied Feb 23 - granted April 23. IHT had been settled in full prior to the probate application.

Probate granted June 2022. Took 6 weeks, applied myself online.  Very straightforward excepted estate, very low value estate as house and most savings held jointly and simply passed automatically to me.  It's a bit of a lottery though! I believe if any queries are raised by the probate office it will take much longer

Probate Granted Sept 2023 after 23 weeks  (delay due to HMRC not sending form(s) on to the Probate Service)
