Actually the delays with the probate registry go back to when the government changed the IHT rules. A great many people submitted applications for probate to beat the deadline which left the registries with massive backlogs. It's  been causing  issues at work and I've seen house sales  fall through because buyers  have  lost patience waiting on sellers to get probate. While it's true we're  only asking for  a  copy of some historic paperwork I  cant imagine they'd be deemed a priority compared to  people actually dealing  with  an estate.

I don't think the issue is anything to do with legal applications but the fact they advertise a specific time frame which in the majority of cases is not true...there lies the problem.

Still no sign with an extended waiting time, not much to ask/expect.

Well, today's the 3rd "luniversary" of when one of my wills should have been delivered. It's going to be such a thrill when it does arrive, even if it's not got much in it.

I am still waiting for one more will, ordered 24th July. Would it make a difference that the person lived in Scotland? All my others were from England. Not that they came in a hurry...

I'm still waiting for 2 of the 4 wills that I ordered on 24 July. It will be (hopefully) a joyous day when they finally arrive!

Ha ha! I got very excited today when I got an email for my 30th July order. Turns out (they claim) I filled in the details incorrectly, entering London instead of Manchester for the registry.  :'(
