Probate & Letters of Administration
Passed away leaving a Will - Probate
When a loved one passes away leaving a Will, the nominated Executor must apply for a "grant of probate" to administer the deceased's estate. This grant of probate is issued by the probate registry and is essential for the Executor to legally manage and distribute the estate according to the deceased's wishes.
