When applying to the Probate Office for a grant of probate or administration or to reseal a grant you must first advertise your notice of intention to make the application on RedCrest-Probate.  The purpose of this questionnaire is to assist in determining whether further information needs to be added to a notice of intention to apply prior to submitting the advertisement.  

If you would like to find out more information about applying for probate or administration view our step by step guide on how to make an application.  

Advertising is usually straightforward, and if all of the questions asked on RedCrest-Probate have been answered correctly further information will often not be required.  The questions that you will be asked in this questionnaire, and the information provided, are by way of information and assistance only.  If you are unsure whether you need to include further information in your advertisement, or are unsure what information to include, you are encouraged to obtain legal advice.
