Is there a way, or does anyone know what the timeframes are, for HMRC to process a period of administration letter from solicitors.

I've tried calling HMRC, but I am not the executor of the estate so do not have direct contact with the solicitor to know exactly when the letter was sent, but I expect it to have been around April or perhaps May this year.

    I sent a letter to HMRC in April setting out the tax payable by the estate on savings/dividend income received during the administration period. They responded about 7 weeks later with details on how to pay the tax owed.
