Grant of Administration

A Grant of Administration is needed when a person dies without making a Will. In such a case the Assets of the deceased person are distributed and inherited in the manner as set out in The Succession Act 1965. In principle the assets of a deceased person go to the nearest next of kin. This can be the Spouse, children, brothers and sisters, or parents of the deceased. Where none of these exist, the assets of the deceased go to the nearest living relatives.
We at Steen O Reilly can advise the next of kin about taking out a Grant of Administration to the estate of a deceased person. The process is very similar to that of taking out a Grant of Probate, but instead of an Executor the Probate Office appoints an Administrator to distribute the estate. We advise and guide the family through this process. Please contact us if you need advice. YOUR FIRST CONSULTATION WILL BE FREE OF CHARGE
