Plain-Language Guidance

Understanding Probate & Letters of Administration

Legal terms can feel overwhelming at a difficult time. Here's what each process actually involves, in plain language.

01 — When there IS a valid will

Probate

When someone passes away and leaves a valid will, the person named as Executor needs to apply to the Supreme Court for a Grant of Probate. This grant legally authorises the Executor to access, manage, and distribute the deceased's estate in accordance with the will.

02 — When there is NO valid will

Letters of Administration

If a person passes away without leaving a valid will — known as dying intestate — the estate cannot simply be distributed. An interested party must apply to the Supreme Court for Letters of Administration under the Wills, Probate and Administration Act 1898.
