COMPLETED: Requesting a will

Post by gardener »

I am sure I should know this, but if I have details of a will from the probate register, how much does it cost to get the will and where do I apply?

Here is link to the form PA1S which you need to fill in and send to Leeds Probate Registry.

Following can be found on the form info.

Return Address
The Postal Searches and Copies
Department,
Leeds District Probate Registry, York House, York Place, Leeds LS1 2BA#

Fees:
When returning the completed application to the Postal Searches and Copies Department in Leeds, please also
enclose the fee of £6.00. Each
extra copy
of the same document ordered at the same time will attract an additional
fee of £1.00. Cheques or Postal Orders should be crossed and made payable to ‘HM Courts & Tribunals Service’.
Fees from abroad should be paid by International Money Order, cheque or draft, payable through a United Kingdom

we able to receive search requests by telephone. Please contact any Probate Registry for details of fees for special
copies (for instance if you are administering estate abroad), and mark your application accordingly
