FAQs

Common Questions

How long does probate take?

A straightforward estate typically takes 9–12 months. Complex estates with significant IHT, property sales, or disputes may take 2–3 years.

Do all estates need a grant of probate?

Not always. Small estates with no property and assets passing by survivorship may not require probate. We advise on a case-by-case basis.
