Probate
What is Probate?
When someone dies charge will be taken of their estate. (money, property and other possessions left) by collecting all the money, paying any debts and distributing the estate to those entitled.
The Probate Registry Issues a document named Grant of Representation.
Their are Three Types of Grant:-
Probate issued to one or more executors named in the will
Letters of administration (with will) when their is a will. but no executor named or unable to deal with the estate.
Letters of administration issued when the deceased has not made a will or it is not valid.
Why is this grant necessary?
Organisations holding money in the deceased's name need to whom the money is to be paid. The distribution of the estate is the responsibility of the person named on the deed.
Is the grant always needed?
A grant is sometimes not needed if the deceased's money is released without the holder seeing the grant, when the amount held is small and their are no complications.
