Some help please

Hoping someone can answer this for me.

At what stage in the process of getting a grant of administration on an estate is the revenue form CA 24 submitted ?

Is it submitted before or after the application has been approved by the probate office.

Also would anyone know roughly how long revenue take to process a CA 24 submission ?

Thanks for reading

Just carry it through in your hand luggage and bobs your uncle.








edit : felt bad for taking the p - sorry I don't know all of what you ask but the CA24 is submitted with the application for a grant of representation, so before approval. No idea how long revenue take to process. I take it you know it goes to the probate office or district probate registry.

Thanks for the reply. Has sorted one issue for me.

If I recall correctly (2004), I made the CA24 declaration on oath the day I met the lady in the Personal Probate section of the Probate Office as all of those officials are Commissioners for Oaths. I signed and she countersigned the form which I then brought to the Revenue office in Dublin Castle. Following that I visited an office near the Four Courts and paid the probate office charges (scaled based on the estate value) and about six weeks later the grant of probate arrived.

Slight update - you complete CA24 once you have investigated all of the assets/debts and had the house (if any) appraised. (all time of death account balances, etc.). You then send CA24 into the Probate Office and they will acknowledge receipt and may have queries. Then it's a few weeks, 4-6 or so, before they assign you an appointment. You show up on that date, swear to the contents of the CA24 (as coylemj said) but now you do not have to take it to Revenue yourself, they do that for you.

Then follow coylemj's description: stamp office, probate charges, etc.

It's totally different for solicitors than personal applicants. I'm not a solicitor but my guess is the process is quicker with a solicitor. I don't want to comment on this circumstance, but over a year does seem an exceptionally long time unless we are missing something from the story?

If it is the case that this solicitor has done so you should report same to the law society as soon as possible. Law society runs a fund that can compensate clients for dishonesty of solicitors but there is a very restrictive time limit that operates...
