A elderly relative has just died - she is a widower with two children. There is a will which was drawn up by a solicitor leaving 50 percent of the estate to each of the two children.
There is no house or stocks and shares - there is about one hundred grand in a deposit account. This is the only asset.
The executors (the two children) are thinking of applying for probate themselves.
Any idea of how long this will take from the will plus forms being sent off to Probate Office?
