Hi folks I have found a entry in the NCP where probate was granted to an ancestor's widow a couple of months after his death There is another entry five years later where administration (with will) is granted to his sister-in-law - the NCP shows the following footnote : Former grant P R [date] The effects in the second entry are about 20% of those in the first entry Would appreciate some indication of what the story is here, please

Hello Cliff I think you will find that widow died at a date between the first and second probate and because she hadn't completed dealing with her late husband's estate it was necessary for someone else to take up where she left off. Probably as simple as one item that couldn't be dealt with without the second probate.
