They are.

They're frustrating.

Now, we were at a point where we were waiting 20 plus weeks for grants to issue, which was completely frustrating.

Now they have it down to 12 to 14 weeks, which, albeit an improvement

It's still a long time for a grant of probate to issue.

So hopefully with the rollout of e-probate, if we can get grants in two to three to four weeks, it's going to be a major change for the way in which we're able to run probate files.

It will just speed up the process considerably.
