to think that probate is taking too long

My dear Grandmother died in October.

Her estate was very simple because she had already sold her house and moved into a care home.

A solicitor is the executor but there is still no sign of probate.

I know that it was taking a long time for probate to be granted last year but looking at the probate search online it doesn’t generally seem so long now.

Does anyone have any recent experience of probate times for simple estates?

AIBU to think that the solicitor is dragging his heels?

My MiL also died in October, my DP did the probate application himself and it took about 6 weeks to be granted.
