How long does it take to obtain a grant of probate?

Probate is the legal process of validating a will. In order to obtain probate, an executor must submit the will to the Probate Registry, along with a Probate Application form and supporting documentation. Once the Probate Registry is satisfied that the will is valid, they will issue a Grant of Probate. The entire process usually takes between six to eight weeks. However, if there are any complication or disputes, it can take longer. Estate administration can be a complex and time-consuming task, so it is important to seek professional advice if you are unsure about anything. Probate lawyers can provide invaluable assistance and guidance throughout the probate process.
