What Is Probate or a Letter of Administration?
When a person passes away, their assets generally need to be legally administered before they can be distributed to the appropriate beneficiaries.
Probate – Generally applies where the deceased left a valid Will and appointed an executor to administer the estate.
Letter of Administration (LA) – Generally applies where the deceased passed away without a Will and an administrator needs to be appointed to manage the estate.
Obtaining the appropriate grant or order allows the executor or administrator to deal with the deceased's estate in accordance with the applicable law.
Why Is Probate or LA Important?
Proper estate administration is important to enable the executor or administrator to deal with assets such as:
🏦 Bank accounts and financial assets
🏠 Houses, land and other properties
🚗 Vehicles and other registered assets
💰 Investments and shares
🛡️ Insurance and other financial claims
📄 EPF and other applicable benefits
It also helps ensure that the deceased's assets are properly identified, administered and distributed to the rightful beneficiaries.
Most importantly, proper estate administration can help minimize misunderstandings and reduce the risk of disputes among family members.
