Wills & Probate FAQs

A Grant of Probate is issued by the High Court when the deceased left a valid Will appointing named executors. Letters of Administration (LA) are required when a person dies intestate (without a valid Will); applying for an LA is generally more lengthy and may require two sureties if the estate exceeds statutory thresholds.
