I apologise in advance if this has already been answered. How long on average does it take to probate a will where the only asset is a house? Have heard some horror stories of delays and wondering why should there be long delays in what appears to be a straightforward situation? Just would like to know as understand that house can not be sold until probate is finished and one of the people involved is anxious to start new like abroad and would like to have an idea of the time involved as this would be helpful when making plans.Many thanks in advance.
