It's a long time since I have last applied for probate. Back then, maybe 2000, it was a postal affair, the IHT205 for Inheritance Tax being a large part, as I recall. The Will was posted off Registered Post and there were regional registries you could attend for the interview and oath swearing.
Google seems to say that everything is now centralised around Newcastle, and most regional registries are closed or else scaled back, but I'm not sure the extent? East or West midlands ones would be where I'd have applied in the past. Can anyone tell me what to expect applying for probate now?
