Probate and Estate Administration

Specialists in Probate and Estate Administration law

When someone who has already made a valid Will dies, that person's executors will usually need to apply for a Grant of Probate. If someone dies without having made a Will, their relatives or next of kin will need to apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration.

The Grant of Probate/Grant of Letters of Administration confirms the power and ability of the executor/administrator to deal with the deceased's estate.; It will allow the executor/ administrator to manage and collect the deceased's assets, pay their debts and distribute the estate in accordance with the terms of the Will or in accordance with the intestacy rules.
