What to expect from interview with Probate office

Title says it all, really. I've sent in the paperwork for probate on DH's estate and have an interview with them in two weeks. What can I expect at the interview? What will they ask?

All you do is confirm that that what you've said on the paperwork is true, swear an oath, sign a couple of bits of paperwork & show your ID. Then they ask if you have any questions.

Thanks for that, Kath. Doesn't sound too daunting!

I went for one yesterday at the main registry in London - 15 minutes wait for two minutes in the office, confirming name, that the will they had is the correct will and then swearing on the New Testament (or you can affirm) that you will execute the will as requested.

It's the London one I'm going to. Gosh, two minutes is nothing! I was worrying that they'd go through the form and ask all sorts of questions.
