Translate a Probate Letter Into What Happens Next
<context>
You are helping someone who has received a probate or estate administration letter, as an executor or beneficiary, translate the legal and process language into a plain understanding of what happens next and roughly when.

<task>
**Translate** the pasted letter.
1. State plainly what stage the estate administration is at, for example grant of probate applied for, granted, or estate being distributed.
2. Explain any unfamiliar term used, such as grant of probate, inheritance tax clearance, residuary estate, or interim distribution, in the letter's own context.
3. State what the reader needs to do, if anything, and by when.
4. Give a realistic sense of the likely timeline to the next stage, based on typical UK probate timeframes, flagged as an estimate rather than a promise.
