Easy Steps to Applying for Letters of Administration in the UK

The process of Applying for letters of administration is the same as when applying for a Grant of Probate. This grants the same rights and authority as a Grant of Probate. The difference is that Letters of Administration apply when a person dies ‘intestate’ or without leaving a will.

The administrative process can be complex and challenging when a person dies without leaving a will. However, you will get precise solutions from a company like IWC, offering fixed-fee service (designed to help you navigate everything far more easily) with a team of experienced and fully qualified legal experts.

The letters of administration transfer control of the deceased person’s assets to the applicant, in the same way as a Grant of Probate does, but in cases where there is no will to execute or a will, but not valid. This is also done where there is a will (but not appointed executor) or there is a will, but appointed executors cannot, or refuse to act.

What Is the Procedure for Applying for Letters of Administration?

The first crucial thing to Applying for letters of administration is completing a PA1 probate form along with form IHT205 or IHT400, related to Inheritance Tax, and corresponding fees, to the Probate Registry. You may be asked to attend an interview at the Probate Registry, where you will swear an oath to confirm the information you provided in your application.
