Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, ensuring that their assets are distributed according to their wishes or applicable laws. It is typically required when the deceased owned assets solely in their name, such as property or significant financial accounts.
The executor named in the deceased’s will or an administrator appointed by the court if there is no will is responsible for applying for probate. This individual oversees the probate process, including gathering assets, paying debts, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
The documents required for probate application typically include the original will (if one exists), the death certificate, details of the deceased’s assets and liabilities, and any relevant identification documents. Additionally, specific probate application forms must be completed and submitted to the probate registry.
The duration of the probate process can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the estate, the presence of disputes, and the efficiency of the executor or administrator. Typically, probate can take several months to complete, with more complex estates potentially taking longer.
The probate registry is responsible for processing probate applications and issuing grants of representation, such as grants of probate or letters of administration. These grants provide the legal authority for the executor or administrator to manage the deceased’s estate.
