The Probate Office is an office of the High Court and management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions under the Courts Service Act 1998.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that while it does not comment on individual cases, the normal processing time in Tralee Court Office is approximately 6 weeks. This is dependent on the documents lodged by the solicitor being in order. If they are not in order, then they will be returned for amendment and this will add to the processing time.
