Probate Statistics 2011, 2012, 2013
The Probate Registries are a division of HM Courts & Tribunals Service (whereas we are a private company). Separately for calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013, these probate statistics show:
1. The total number of applications for grants of representation;
2. The number of applications for grants of representation made by solicitors;
3. The number of applications for grants of representation made by personal (lay) applicants;
4. The number of applications for grants of probate (i.e. for testate estates);
5. The number of applications for grants of letters of administration and grants of letters of administration with will annexed.
The statistics show that most cases are dealt with by professionals such as ourselves. Others will use services such as DIYprobateUK.
