Probate

HillStreetBlues

As there is property probate will be needed there is also cash in the estate.
The beneficiary is on means-tested benefits that will end. Does the executor have to make a interim payment of some or all of the cash, or can the executor just wait till probate is granted.

No requirement to make an interim payment. Entirely up to the executor.
