Asked by: Dan Norris (Labour - North East Somerset and Hanham)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will make an estimate of the total cash amount of legacy income due to charities in unprocessed probate applications.
Answered by Heidi Alexander - Secretary of State for Transport
Management Information on the open workable caseload is published in Table 5 here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmcts-management-information. Data below national level is not available.
Bequests to charities do not influence the probate process, so HMCTS does not collect this data. However, HMCTS works closely with charity representative organisations to help them forecast their legacy income. This includes regular meetings to provide them with additional insight into performance data and forecasts on receipts and grant production levels, so that they can provide guidance to their member organisations.
