If you have been asked to obtain Letters of Administration, often referred to as a Grant of Letters of Administration, then you have been asked to obtain Probate where the person that passed away did not make a Will.
Upon the death of a loved one, the first and most important step is to check if they have left a valid will. If no will is found, the Rules of Intestacy decide who may apply.
When applying, the application itself is submitted to the Probate Registry. It must be supported by an Inland Revenue estate account showing that no inheritance tax is necessary, or that any tax due has been paid.
If the person died without a Will then they are deemed to have died intestate, this is when the Letters of Administration application is required.
We offer a range of Bespoke, DIY, Emergency or even an Online Will Creation option.
