First the will, then the grant of probate
My husband died recently. He was farming and the land was in his sole name. He divided his estate between me and our three children and appointed me as his executrix. I understand I need to take out a Grant of Probate. What does the term ‘Grant of Probate’ mean?
In order to administer the estate, it is necessary to apply to the High Court for authority to deal with the assets. The document that issues is known as a Grant of Probate.
