Appoint the Personal Representative The first two items of business are getting the will admitted to probate and getting the person you want as the executor appointed. After the personal representative is appointed, he or she must accept the appointment and the court will issue letters of administration.
What happens next. Once you have the grant of probate (or letters of administration) you can start dealing with the estate. Send copies of the probate document to organisations that hold the assets of the person who died, for example their bank.
Under the laws of intestacy, a Letter of Administration grants the appointed administrator the same authority as an executor; allowing them to access, manage and distribute the deceaseds assets, debts, and other financial matters.
A Grant of Letters of Administration is a legal document issued by the Probate Registry, empowering an appointed individual (known as an Administrator) to manage and distribute the deceaseds estate in the absence of a valid Will.
It is an administrators job to gather all of the assets of the estate, pay the debts of the estate, and distribute the assets to the beneficiaries in accordance with the will or the laws of intestate succession. All of this will occur under the supervision of the probate court in the county where the decedent lived.
