Understanding Probate and Letters of Administration

Probate:

Probate is the legal procedure undertaken after a person’s death to validate their will and administer their estate. It involves the court’s review and approval of the will, the appointment of an executor, and the distribution of assets to rightful beneficiaries. The process includes the identification and valuation of the deceased’s property, settling any debts and taxes, and ultimately transferring the remaining assets in accordance with the will or intestacy laws.

Letters of Administration:

Letters of Administration come into play when a deceased person has not left a valid will or an appointed executor. In such cases, the court appoints an administrator, usually a close relative, to manage and distribute the estate. This process mirrors probate in terms of asset management and distribution but occurs in the absence of a will.

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Tamara as my Solicitor for the past 4 and a half years. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my protecting myself and my son. I went to Tamara scared and broken and she fought for us and saved me from a life of panic and fear and saved my son from a very dangerous person. I can’t thank her enough for the empathy, strength and loyalty she provided me. Not only did I receive the outcome I wanted, I also gained a lifelong friend.”
