Probate Registries (England & Wales)

Posted on the 14 March 2014 by Jason Cherrington

The Probate Registry is responsible for making sure that an applicant is entitled to be given a grant, and to check that any Will produced appears to be properly made.

Probate registries are open Monday to Friday. The majority of them open from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. However I recommend that you check before attending.

Probate Interviews are by appointment only and are arranged by the District or Sub Registry.
