I am informed by the Property Registration Authority (PRA) that, as a registering authority, the PRA is part of the process of dealing with property involving probate on foot of applications for registration lodged with it, but it has no involvement in the process of extracting the Grant of Probate. I am further informed that a number of application types require that the PRA has sight of the original or a certified copy of a Grant of Probate; however, it is not in a position to provide any information regarding the number of properties currently in probate.
