I can confirm that my Department has issued a letter with details of the Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) of the deceased individual referred to by the Deputy to the solicitor concerned on 30th November 2021.

My Department has put in place a dedicated email address, PPSNPROBATE@welfare.ie which solicitors can use to submit PPSN applications and Probate/Estate queries regarding PPSNs. Emails to this address are dealt with as expeditiously as possible by a dedicated team of staff from my Department.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
