ESTATE ADMINISTRATION AND PROBATE

If you are the executor named in a Will or are considering applying to become the Administrator of an Estate (either because there is no Will or the named Executor(s) are unwilling or unable to act) you should ask yourself the following:

1. What is my personal liability?
2. How do I apply for an estate grant?
3. What are the duties associated with being an Executor/ Administrator?
