Applying for Probate
A Grant of Probate ensures that the appointment of the executor in the Will is valid, that the deceased person’s debts are reconciled, and that their estate is distributed according to their wishes.
To apply for probate, you must:
- Obtain supporting documents
- Publish a probate notice
- Submit a probate application
- Address any requisitions from the Court
This process spans weeks, but it can be made as efficient as possible with legal support.
Our probate specialists can help you understand what documents are being requested and where to find them, as well as outline timelines and next steps so that you are not being overwhelmed by the process.
Letters of Administration
