Probate UK
has anyone recently had to get probate in the UK as an executor? I have been looking at the gov.uk website and it seems like you can do it online now and get the probate docs mailed out usually within 20 days. I always thought you had to appear and swear an oath but I can see no mention of this. I really dont want to involve lawyers for such a simple estate, but I cannot spend too long away from my job here in Canada when the time comes around.

Re: Probate UK
A few years ago after my FIL died we went to the probate office in Holburn, dropped off paperwork, went back a couple of days later and it was sorted.i really can't remember the ins and outs now though.
