You may know that in order to administer the estate of someone who has died it is usually necessary to obtain a Grant of Representation.

A Grant of Representation is a court order issued by one of the Probate Registries of the High Court. It confirms or confers authority on the \'personal representatives\' (this means the executors or administrators) to administer the deceased person\'s estate. There are a number of types of Grant of Representation but the two that are most common are a Grant of Probate and a Grant of Letters of Administration. A Grant of Probate is issued to the executor or executors named in the Will and it confirms the authority of the executors who the Will appoints. A Grant of Letters of Administration is issued where there was no Will, where a person died, as it is called, \'intestate\'. A Grant of Letters of Administration is issued to the persons entitled in law who are known as \'administrators\'.
