Finding Out If Probate Has Been Granted

[hardy49]

My cousin passed away at the end of March. His late brorhers wife went to his house to sort out his affairs and said that he had not made a Will. I have since been told that he owned his house but have no other information. How can I find out if probate has been granted and if so to whom

Using the above link you can do a search. However i doubt probate has been granted yet so I suggest you do a "Standing search" using the form PA1s which will last for 6 months.

Have you decided where you're honeymooning - I recall it was excercising your mind a while back ?
