Grateful for any advice please, thank you ☺️
My brother is the executor of my parent’s will, and with regards to probate, as far as I understand, probate has been approved (this was 2 weeks ago on Wednesday) and he’s just waiting on the final bit of paperwork/letter to come back (probate approved in writing), then he can start to administer the estate, and once utility bills/council tax paid, he is going to make an interim payment to us both, then we get the remainder when property sold.
Has anyone had any recent experience of this stage? Probate approved and waiting for final papers to arrive in the post? If so, how long did you have to wait? I thought it was around 10 working days?
Thanks again.

It didn’t take that long once the probate was granted. Two days as I recall. This was in June.

About five days. Probate granted in August.
