In short, my MIL died December 2015. Her estate is fairly simple- a flat which has been sold, a bank account and a pension. There was an IHT liability.
We engaged a firm of professional administrators to administer the estate, but it is still going on- nearly 15 months later. Should it be taking this long? The IHT liability was paid one day before the 6 months deadline. The firm did not apply for the grant of probate until 8 months after date of death. No creditors have been paid still, and they have not done the London gazette advertising for creditors. We have requested regular updates but have been fobbed off.
How long is this all meant to take? This seems really crazy, when it seemd fairly simple.
