Probate

When a person dies, they usually leave an estate (including money, possessions and property).

In order to have access to the estate, the personal representatives(s) otherwise known as Executors of the deceased need to apply to the Probate Registry for a grant of representation (a grant).  The grant establishes who can legally collect money from banks, building societies and other organisations which hold assets belonging to the deceased person.

If the person left a will, you’ll get a ‘grant of probate’.

If the person did not leave a will, you’ll get ‘Letters of Administration’.

You may not always need to apply for probate
