Translate a Probate Letter Into What Happens Next

A probate letter arrives full of terms like grant of probate and residuary estate, at a time when reading legal language is the last thing anyone wants to do. This translates the letter into what stage things are actually at, what any unfamiliar term means, and what, if anything, is expected of you and by when.

</context>

<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.
