Checklist
- Count 12 months from the date of death, not from the grant.
- Treat the application as made on the day it is filed, not on the day it is served.
- Do not assume an extension. Record the sufficient cause or the consent before advising that a late application can be filed.
- Do not prepare the application in this note.
