On average, the probate process can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of the estate, legal objections, and court workload. Plan My Estate’s probate team can help you get a probate grant in a reasonable amount of time.

Additionally, probate may be required if mandated by a financial institution, registrar, or other relevant authority.
