An Estate is the legal terms used to describe the assets, liabilities, right and duties that a person leaves behind them when they die.

Probate is the process of proving the Will. This involves making an application to the District Probate Registry/ Probate Offices. The application is followed in order to obtain a ‘Grant of Probate’.

A Grant of Probate is a legal document which declares that the Executor named on it is legally permitted to administer the estate of the deceased person in accordance with the terms of his or her Will. Simply, this means that they pay the debts of the deceased and distribute what remains as set out in the Will. The Grant will allow extraction of assets from lending institutions, and transfer of property in an Estate.

Intestacy is the legal term given to when someone dies without having made a Will. A partial intestacy arises where someone dies with a Will that does not dispose of all their assets. As per the Probate application, when seeking a Grant of Administration, an application is made to the District Probate Registry/ or the Probate Office.
