made simple.

what is Probate & estate administration?
Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing a person’s assets, and paying any relevant debts after they have died. Depending on whether the deceased person had a valid Will, either a grant of probate or letters of administration are generally needed to complete the estate administration process.
