Kit! Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Could anyone help. I have applied for probate & sent off all documentation to the probate office in Sheffield 4weeks ago. This has now been returned to me, via Belfast, by Royal Mail with 1 of their lovely red stickers saying 'address incomplete'. The address is correct as checked on the website. Is there another address i should be sending it to. This is just stress added onto stress i do not need. I hope someone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 It is at West Bar Law Courts. I hand delivered my stuff and they processed it really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgksheff Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I don't disagree, but why doesn't the official website list the PO Box address? What address did the OP use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestman Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 You have to send the forms to Leeds, 31 York Pl, Leeds LS1 2ED. You can swear the oath at the Sheffield office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Yes. The Sheffield office is just a Sub-Registry. It ceased long ago to have full Registry powers. So it's now impossible for a Grant of Probate etc. to be formally stated as 'Issued at the Sheffield Probate Registry'. There is none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheff71 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Wonder if anyone can offer some useful advice. My mother died in December, leaving a will. My sister and I are executors, and to share the estate equally. As the amount of money in the bank was not large, the bank were happy to accept the will and close out the account, splitting between us both, and most other items (pensions, utilities etc) are either now closed, or transferred to our names as appropriate. The funeral costs should be covered by an insurance plan. This just leaves really the house. We basically just want it transferring into our names jointly, we aren't looking to sell. As the house is not being passed to a spouse, do we definitely need to be granted probate? And even then, that doesn't include transferring the house into our names, does it? We're just getting really confused, and have had varying quotes from different law firms (upto £500+VAT for the grant of probate, and anywhere between £200+VAT to around £500 for the transfer of the property). We just want to get it done correctly and not get fleeced... to us, it seems straightforward, there is no one else who would be making any claims. Any positive advice is greatfully accepted.
