Probate: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to help reduce the time taken for probate processing.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones
HM Courts & Tribunals Service have invested in more staff, alongside system and process improvements to reduce and then maintain lower processing times during the last year.
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on probate timeliness here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/family-court-statistics-quarterly.
