Probate
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of measures to improve the timeliness of probate claims.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones
HM Courts & Tribunals Service have invested in more staff, alongside system and process improvements to reduce and maintain lower processing times during the last year.
The Ministry of Justice publishes regular data on probate timeliness in our regular quarterly family court statistics bulletin: Family Court Statistics Quarterly - GOV.UK
