Grieving the loss of a loved one is an emotional journey. It's a time when families seek solace and closure, but recently, the process has changed with unexpected challenges for many. 

As families navigate the endless list of legalities, a backlog of applications leaves them locked out of accessing the deceased’s assets, facing mounting costs and an excruciating wait.

Probate is a legal document necessary for managing a deceased individual's assets. It is supposed to streamline the transition of estates to their rightful heirs. Yet, what should be a straightforward process becomes a lengthy ordeal, plunging families into a lengthy ordeal of uncertainty and financial strain.

According to government guidelines, the probate application process should take approximately 16 weeks. However, recent cases reveal a starkly different reality. In some instances, families have endured waits of up to several months and, in some cases, over a year.

Solicitors are echoing the frustration of countless families. Despite their expertise and dedication, they find themselves constrained by the timeframes of the Probate Registry.
