Sometimes, a loved one passes away unexpectedly or before they have a chance to make a Will. This is known as dying “intestate” and the estate is distributed in accordance with the intestacy laws set out in the Succession Act 2023.
Often the assets of the estate cannot be accessed or dealt with until an Administrator is legally appointed to manage the estate. The process of applying for Letters of Administration is similar to Probate and if granted, an Administrator is appointed to manage the estate in accordance with the Succession Act 2023.
We understand this process can be confusing and emotionally overwhelming, especially while you are grieving.
At FJS Lawyers, we are here to guide and support you through each step of the process.
If you are unsure if Letters of Administration are required in your circumstances, or you just need some guidance, reach out to our friendly team.
We offer a 30-minute free first appointment.
