Grant Of Probate and Grant of Letters of Administration.

If there is a claim for medical negligence relating to the death of your loved one, you will be required to have a Grant of Probate or a Grant of Letters of Administration.

‍

A Gant of Probate is a legal document that provides authority for the deceased’s executor(s) (named in the deceased person's will) to administer their estate. The Grant of Probate is issued by the Probate Registry. This process is part of the probate process, which involves proving the validity of the will and carrying out the deceased's wishes for their estate.

‍

A Grant of Letters of Administration is a legal document issued by the Probate Registry when a person dies without leaving a valid will, or when the named executor(s) in the will are unable or unwilling to act. A Grant of Letters of Administration appoints an administrator (usually a close relative of the deceased) to manage and distribute the deceased person's estate according to the rules of intestacy.
