A standing search is for when the person has died in just the last few months.


"What if the person died in the last six months?

If the person died within the last six months, a grant may not have been issued yet. You should check the online search service regularly to see when a grant
has been issued. You can then order the documents.If you are unable to search online, you may apply for a standing search to enable a copy to be sent to you
when the grant issues. The copy will not be sealed.
After a period of six months without result, your standing search will expire. You are able to extend the search for a further six months within one month of the expiry date by sending a further £10."
