Actually the delays with the probate registry go back to when the government changed the IHT rules. A great many people submitted applications for probate to beat the deadline which left the registries with massive backlogs. It's been causing issues at work and I've seen house sales fall through because buyers have lost patience waiting on sellers to get probate. While it's true we're only asking for a copy of some historic paperwork I cant imagine they'd be deemed a priority compared to people actually dealing with an estate.
