Letters Of Administration Guide

Hi ****! I can provide some information about obtaining letters of administration in England. Here are the basic steps:
- Determine if you need letters of administration: This is required if the deceased did not leave a will.
- Apply to the Probate Registry: You'll need to fill in the necessary forms and pay a fee.
- Provide the required documents: This may include the death certificate and proof of relationship to the deceased.
Do you have any specific questions about the process?

Hi ****! When you are granted letters of administration, you do not become the executor of your dad's estate. Instead, you become the "administrator" of the estate. The executor role is specific to those named in a will, whereas an administrator handles the estate when there is no will.
Do you have any other questions about the administration process?

Hi ****! As the administrator of your dad's estate, you have a legal duty to manage and protect the estate's assets. If there is no will, your brother may still have rights to access the property as a beneficiary. You might want to consider seeking a court order if you believe it's necessary. Have you discussed this situation with your brother?
