I have looked at all the threads in this section and none answer my question. With my keen ability to NOT find anything I am looking for on this here intarwebby I am turning to the people that know - the members of this forum. Here is my question.

When was the probate minimum estate value raised from £5 to £5000?

I am told that it was the 20th century but when?
I'll be back in half an hour to see the answer

It appears to have been 1965 for small payments concessions, but stand to be corrected.
It was raised to £1500 in 1975 and to £5000 in 1984 where it remains today.
