My mother-in-law died three weeks ago, what a load of paperwork I have had with this probate lark,just to see if you are over £285,000 and you are not going to twist them.
Then they have the cheek to charge you £91 for the privilege of having what is yours........any one else had this? and did you have any problems with the Revenue (gestapo) ?

I havent Redman, but i think it's bloody ridiculous to say the least, this is the reason so many elderly people give their belongings away before they die.
Hope your family are coping ok. x

Probate
I have had to do it 3 times now.
I can understand probate if there is no will, and yes it pissed me off to pay for what was mine anyway...
But I also had to fill out probate papers when my mother died and there WAS a will.
The trick is to under value every thing, and keep it, if possible under the limit where you have to pay tax
