The time it takes for the funds to be released to the Estate depends on the number, complexity and value of the deceased person’s accounts and the provision of the required documentation. The circumstances of each member vary and so too the time it takes to settle each Estate. However, the earlier we receive all the required documentation, the quicker we will be able to finalise the Estate. Until all the documentation is received, we cannot process the finalisation of the Estate.
If a grant of probate is required then the process will take longer.
