Thanks for the reply.I would say that May to November (6 months) is very optomistic regarding the probate finished. What is happening to the house ? Is he doing the conveyancy for the change of title or the sale of the house if needed ? Has the executor given the valuation of the house to your solicitor ? There is lots of paperwork involved in getting the case ready for probate.
That gives me an uneasy feeling about conflicts of interest. Do you mean to say that the same solicitor is representing the seller, your late father's estate through the executrix, and the buyer of the property? If so s/he cannot provide independent advice to either party. I'd cancel all dealings with whoever the solicitor is.Regarding the house, there is a buyer in place for when probate is completed. This is also with the same solicitors.
No, sorry I may have worded it weirdly. There is no conflict. I was just mentioning that there is a buyer for the house in waiting, and the solicitors we hired for the probate, will also be handling the sale of the house on our behalf once the probate has finished.That gives me an uneasy feeling about conflicts of interest.

My condolences on your loss but might I ask what delayed addressing the estate between January and May? I know it must have been a difficult time for all of the siblings.
Yes all paperwork done and signed off and no word since July. Maybe it's coming close to the end. NowMy mother in law died 18 months ago, so it was almost 3 months later when probate was applied for and the house was put on the market. Probate was granted 4 months after application and it took almost 6 more weeks to finalise sale. There was lots of over and back the whole time, with fair deal, revenue, local property tax, household charge etc. The executor was on top of all paperwork, but it still was a tedious process. The solicitor said 4-6 months for probate, it was almost 4 months to the day.
Has the executor signed the probate application paperwork, has it all been sent off for probate?
