No, a UK Grant of Probate is not accepted in the Isle of Man.

Whist the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom share some historical ties, they are legally distinct jurisdictions with their own separate legal systems. The Isle of Man has its own set of laws governing probate, and as such, a Grant of Probate issued by a UK court cannot be used to administer an estate in the Isle of Man.

If the deceased person owned assets or resided in the Isle of Man, you will need to apply for a Grant of Probate from the Isle of Man Probate Registry. This process requires the submission of an application to the Manx court and providing the necessary documentation, including the Will (if one exists) and the death certificate.
