Probate Procedure

When a person dies, if there is a Will they would have named an Executor.

The Executor is responsible for managing and distributing the estate on behalf of the deceased. They could be an individual such as a family member or friend, or they might be company such a firm of solicitors or a bank.

Being an Executor is a very involved job and amongst other things they will have to:

• Inform family, friends and work colleagues of the death
• Obtain a copy of the medical certificate
• Register the death
• Check that they have the last original will
• Arrange the funeral
• Draw up sample accounts detailing how the estate is to be distributed

They will also have to apply for a "grant of probate" from the Probate Registry which gives them the legal right to distribute the deceased's estate.

The Probate Bureau can help with all aspects of dealing with executing a will.
