A formal statutory probate notice has been issued, calling upon creditors and any other interested parties to come forward with written details of claims or beneficial interests relating to the estate of the late Peggy Joyce Woods. This legal notification, published both on the official Public Notice Portal and within the pages of the Sevenoaks Chronicle, establishes a strict deadline for the submission of such particulars.
Key Details of the Probate Notice
The notice pertains to the estate of Peggy Joyce Woods, who passed away on Thursday, September 18, 2025. The deceased was associated with addresses in both Sevenoaks and Bromley, specifically Kippingtons Nursing Home on Grange Road in Sevenoaks, Kent, and 46 Marden Avenue in Bromley.
Deadline and Submission Process
The critical date for all parties is Monday, March 23, 2026. Written details of any claim must be received by the appointed contact by this date to be considered as part of the initial estate distribution. The legal basis for this process is the Trustee Act 1925.
Claims should be sent in writing to:
Victoria Lesley Turner
c/o Clarkson Wright & Jakes
Valiant House, 12 Knoll Rise
Orpington, BR6 0PG
All correspondence must include the reference SKG/201290/3.
Who Should Respond and How
This notice is directed at:
- Creditors with financial claims against the estate.
- Individuals or organisations believing they have a beneficial interest.
- Any party with a legitimate claim on the assets of Peggy Joyce Woods.
To make a valid claim, a written statement must be submitted. This document should clearly outline:
- The claimant's full name and address.
- The precise basis and monetary amount of the claim.
- Any available supporting documentation.
- The reference number SKG/201290/3.
It is strongly advised that claimants retain copies of all correspondence for their personal records.
Implications of the Deadline
The notice explicitly states that after the March 2026 deadline, the estate administrators may proceed with distribution, taking into account only those claims and interests that were formally notified by the cut-off date. While late claims might be considered separately at a later stage, the primary distribution of assets will be conducted based on the timely notices received.
Important Clarifications
It is crucial to understand that this statutory notice does not, in itself, confirm that a formal grant of probate has been issued by the courts. Instead, it represents a mandatory step within the broader estate administration process as prescribed by law.
Individuals who have concerns or believe they may be adversely affected by the estate's administration are strongly encouraged to seek independent legal advice. Proactive contact with the named representative, Victoria Lesley Turner, before the deadline is also recommended.
