Probate online

Is there anyway I could check if Probate has gone through in March this year, if not will it be on a list about to be heard in North Wales?

Thank you very much Rosie that's what I was looking for. Sadly I can't find the person I was looking for so Probate probably hasn't gone through yet. Do you happen to know if there is a list of probate hearings that are to be heard in the future? The place would be Caernarvon, Gwynedd, Wales.

When was the application submitted?

Sorry Carol I don't know the Probate day, but the person died 6th March this year so I expect it's early days yet.

That's a very interesting, informative site you have given in that link Carole, that will really help Thanks very much.

It all depends on when the Executer actually submits the application. 

My sister died last month but it will be another couple of weeks before I can submit probate because I am waiting on various documentation to finalise the application.

If you are family kin, I think this is a question you can ask direct to the Probate Registry?

Several of my friends and family have been dealing with Probate Applications where they were appointed as Executors by a Will and the Probate Applications were all done by post.

But not everyone leaves a Will, or a Will is not found (Intestate). Their website has information about this.

In the UK, I believe there may only be a hearing if someone disputes or challenges the Application by another for Probate?

If the estate is liable for Inheritance Tax - there can be a delay as the IHT has to be paid before Probate can be granted.

If the person only died in March it’s early days yet for probate
