Frequently asked questions.
What if I already have a family lawyer?
What is Probate and Letters of Administration?
Probate (where there is a will), or Letters of Administration (where there isn’t a will) is the approval granted to an executor of a Will by the Supreme Court. Obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration means that the Court has formally recognised the authority of the executor to manage the estate of the deceased.
Why do I need Probate or Letters of Administration?
In most cases, without a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, the executor will be prevented from accessing and managing the assets of the estate. Occasionally, a smaller estate will not require these documents to access and distribute the estate’s assets, but this is uncommon. If you’re unsure if you’ll require a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration based on the size and types of assets in the estate, feel free to give us a call for some no-obligation advice.
What if there is no will?
If there is no Will, it is most common that the next of kin of the deceased will apply to the Court for Letters of Administration. The distribution of the estate would then occur in accordance with particular rules of intestacy. The rules of intestacy are a set of rules that determine exactly who will receive a benefit from the estate and in what proportions. Bare Law can help you with a Grant of Letters of Administration if the deceased had no will.
Can funeral expenses be paid from the deceased’s estate?
Funeral expenses are considered an estate expense, this means that the deceased’s bank accounts can be used to pay for the funeral expenses. However, if any other person pays for the funeral expenses, they are entitled to be reimbursed for these expenses from the estate.
Which service do I need?
Don’t stress, we’re here to help. A Grant of Probate is granted when the deceased held a Will and this Will is submitted to the Court. Letters of Administration are granted when someone passes away without a Will and someone close to the deceased (generally next of kin) applies to become the Administrator of the estate. If you’re not sure what you will require, feel free to give our legal team a call, or book a free 15-minute consult for some no-obligation advice.
