Frequently Asked Questions
Probate usually applies where there is a valid will and an executor. Letters of administration usually apply where there is no will or where an administrator is required.
Usually, authority from the relevant court or estate process is required before transfer or distribution can be completed.
The dispute should be assessed based on the will, family position, estate documents and applicable law.
