What happens after Letters of Administration are granted? Once the court grants letters of administration, the administrator obtains legal authority to act on behalf of the deceased.
If there is a will and probate is needed then the executor needs to apply for a grant of probate. If there is no will, then the administrator will need to apply for a grant of letters of administration. If youre struggling to locate the will, find out how to find a copy of the will.
The critical difference between Probate and Letter of Administration is that Probate is granted to an executor nominated under the will. Whereas, if a will does not nominate an executor, the beneficiaries of the deceased will have to file an application for Letter of Administration.
