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.
-
The Quick Laws Probate Online Application is designed to help you prepare an application for probate where the circumstances surrounding the application are not complex. The Probate Online Application form is not suitable for applications where:
There is no Will or the original Will cannot be found;
You are not an Executor named in the Will;
The Will has not been signed and witnessed.
If any of the above circumstances apply to your situation, then you should seek professional legal advice from a qualified person, such as a Lawyer.
