Limited grant of probate process

[SPS]

How do I apply for a limited grant of probate directly?

[des8]

In order to obtain a Grant Ad Colligenda Bona, you need to prepare an application to the Probate Registry, supported by an Oath and an Affidavit. The application must be approved and authorised by the District Registrar and by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) before the Probate Registry are able to issue such an application.

Could you please let me know where I can get the form from etc? I've tried a probate registry and they said to go through a solicitor.

I think the form is PA1 supported by an Oath and an Affidavit. The application must be approved and authorised by the District Registrar and by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) before the Probate Registry are able to issue limited probate.

Perhaps guidance by a solicitor would not be inappropriate
