General Information
Upon
a person’s death, the person in charge of the administration and distribution
of his or her estate is known as a (1) executor if the deceased had made a
will, or a (2) personal representative if the deceased had not made a will.
Grant of Probate
If
you are appointed as an executor in a deceased’s will, and the value of his or
her estate exceeds $3 million, you will have to apply to court for a Grant of
Probate within 6 months after the deceased has passed on. The Grant of Probate
validates the will and is the official document authorizing the executor to
deal with a deceased person’s estate.
Letters of Administration
If
there is no will and the deceased has some property to be dealt with, the
beneficiary who has a prior right under the intestacy laws will have to apply
to court for a Grant of Letters of Administration. This is so that the courts
can appoint personal representatives to administer and distribute the deceased’s
estate.

the Grant of Probate and Letters of Administration involve complex legal

application.
