Hi All,
Newbie here....I do apologise if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it on an admittedly quick search. I am trying to help out an elderly colleague in poor health. Himself and the wife did up wills with a solicitor....the wife died and he is the sole benefically of her will. After much back and forth, we got the affadavit witnessed by an independent solicitor a few weeks ago. The probate involves some shares and some property. I know that the process is the the Revenue get it first, and then it goes to the Probate office, but how long should it take post affadavit stage....give or take. It should be relatively uncomplicated. I'm trying to reassure him but I think he is about to blow a gasket, but on the other hand, I would like to know if the solicitor is taking the mickey....apologies in advance to all solicitors here. Two years and counting seems like an awfully long time to get this done. Just trying to get a handle on how much long it could be
Thanks
