What is Grant of Probate?
A Grant of Probate is a legal document issued by a court that gives an executor the authority to administer the estate of a deceased person who left a valid will. It serves as official proof that the executor has the legal right to manage and distribute the deceased's assets according to the instructions in the will.
When a Grant of Probate is issued, it confirms the executor's authority to manage the deceased person's estate, empowering them to handle property, finances, and other assets with legal assurance.
This important document allows the executor to collect assets, settle any debts and taxes owed by the estate, and distribute the remaining assets to the beneficiaries named in the will. It's often a legal necessity, as financial institutions and other organizations usually require sight of the Grant of Probate before releasing funds or providing information to the executor.
To obtain it, the executor must apply to the Probate Registry, submitting the original will, a death certificate, and all necessary documentation and fees. This process ensures that the executor can carry out their duties confidently and in compliance with all legal requirements.
