Common Questions

Probate is the authority given by the Court that allows an Executor of a Will to deal with a deceased's assets.
The Executors need to submit an 'Application for Probate' to the Supreme Court where the deceased held assets.
Amongst other things, like arranging the funeral, you may need to get probate before you can manage the deceased's estate, such as accessing bank accounts or transferring property. You need to carry out the deceased's wishes as set out in the Will as soon as possible
No. You must be one of the Executor(s) named in a valid Will to get Probate. If you are not one of the Executor(s) but you are the closest living relative, you may still be able to obtain an authority to manage the estate.
