Re: probate queries
You may have heard mention of the executors year. This is however usually an excessive period other than where there are complications in the administration.
Records of grants of probate are kept at HM probate registry and may be easily checked free of charge by callers or otherwise for a small fee.
I suspect that there may well be problems here and if I can help in any way please let us know
