Revised probate application forms introduced
The Probate Office has introduced updated Notice of Probate Application Forms.
The updated forms have been introduced following a pilot project to address high query rates arising from paperwork and proofs. In the pilot conducted by the Probate Office, the Probate application error rate fell from 45 per cent to 16 per cent, with the error rate for intestacy applications falling from 60 per cent to 38 per cent.
From 18 October, only the the updated forms will be accepted by the Probate Office.
