- High volume of applications: The HM Courts and Tribunals Service reported over 2,500 probate applications processed for Nottinghamshire estates in 2023, reflecting the county’s significant demand for probate services.
- Processing times: In 2023, the average time to obtain a Grant of Probate in the East Midlands, including Nottinghamshire, was 8–12 weeks, though complex estates or incomplete applications can extend this timeline (HMCTS, 2023).
