About Probate and Estate Administration

Administering an estate involves identifying assets and liabilities, considering tax and dealing with those entitled to inherit. A grant of probate or letters of administration may be needed, depending on the circumstances. The person administering the estate has responsibilities that continue beyond obtaining the grant.

Key Points

  • Locate the original will and information about assets and debts.
  • Establish who is entitled to administer the estate.
  • Check liabilities and tax before distributing funds.
