Grant of probate
PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES
This involves matters that take place after death which
involves advising the legal personal representatives as to how to look after
the deceased’s property [known as the Estate]. Again the type of advice to be
given will depend on whether the Deceased made a Will or not.
The Will would usually provide for the appointment of
certain persons as Executors and Trustees to administer the Estate according to
the Deceased’s wishes. If the Deceased did not make a Will, an Administrator(s)
will have to be appointed by the Court to administer the Estate. The
Administrator will usually be the spouse or one of the next-of-kin of the
Deceased, i.e. a beneficiary under the rules of distribution as governed by the
Intestate Succession Act (Cap. 146) (for non-Muslims) or by Muslim law (for
Muslims).
