Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many unprocessed probate applications there are in (a) North east Somerset and Hanham constituency and (b) England.

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.
