Grant of Probate /
Letter of Administration
This is the Court Order your loved ones can apply for so that your Executors or Administrators can administer your estate when when pass on. While a Will states the wishes of the Testator (“the client”)”, it does not carry the power for the Executor / administer to be able to obtain monies from the clients’ bank accounts, insurance policies after the client passes on.
The respective executors / administers need to apply for a Grant of Probate or Grant of Letter of Administration (if the client did not leave behind a will) in order to do so. We assist in the application of this court order as part of our service.
