The office is open to the general public between Mondays to Thursday from 9.30am until 4.00pm.  It is recommended to telephone or email first, before you visit.  The registry may not be able to provide the information you need.  For example, if you're conducting genealogical research, you may need to contact the principle registry for access to the entire calendar records.  HM Courts and Tribunals may require you to make an appointment so they can assist you.

The registry does not provide legal advice; staff are not qualified to do so.  Nor can they offer guidance about inheritance tax.  Depending on the nature of your enquiry, they may recommend that you seek professional assistance.

IWC are a specialist probate and estate administration company.  If you find that the probate office cannot help, you can always call our free phone advice line on 0800 612 6105.  Speak to a highly qualified legal professional about your probate problems or concerns, 7 days a week until 10pm.

If you have not yet made your application, you may wish to find out more about the services we offer.  You have the option to appoint a professional to take care of the entire process.  Once your probate application has been approved, your executor/administrator duties will really begin. 

Opening a bank account, preparing a set of accounts, paying bills and debts, collecting in monies owed, the sale of assets, and correspondence with beneficiaries are just some of the tasks that you'll have to undertake.  If you don't have the time, a qualified practitioner at IWC can help, our competitive rates are fixed and agreed with you in advance.
