Letters of Administration
Thoughtful guidance when a Will is not present.
When a loved one passes away without a Will, their Estate is governed by the laws of intestacy which set out how the Estate will be divided among surviving family members.
Being an administrator of an Estate comes with a number of responsibilities which will often come at a time when you are dealing with the loss of a loved one. Where there is no Will, one such responsibility is ascertaining if a grant of Letters of Administration is required.
A grant of Letters of Administration is an order by the Supreme Court of Western Australia providing an administrator with the authority to deal with the deceased’s property.
