Probate office queries

Would anyone know if queries are to be raised by the probate office on an application do all the possible queries they may have get raised and sent out at the same time?

The estate solicitor has been asked two relatively smallish queries by the probate office..Does that usually mean that the probate office has gone through the whole application and only found two queries or could more queries follow?

I'm desperate to get it all through due to a difficult beneficiary.

Will the application go to the back of the queue now ?
 
Just for clarity, the "estate solicitor" is your legal representative in these matters, the executor's solicitor; as the executor, you are the instructing client.

Are the queries the result of omissions or errors by your solicitor? If you don't know, ask.

Who knows what the probate office might find; the response(s) from your solicitor might trigger another query.

I have no idea how scheduling work at the probate office operates. I would assume the revised application goes to the back of queue. Your solicitor would know what happens to new work vs re-work.
 
There’s no guarantee they won’t find something else to query further down the line but in my experience, the queries raised at this stage represent everything that needs to be clarified.
