Grant of Probate

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

A document from the ProbateRegistry confirming authority for an Executor to begin the DistributionOfEstate. This term only applies where the estate is to be handled by an executor named in the Will; any other person carrying out this task is an `administrator' (see: Administrator) and requires (LettersOfAdministration). In Scotland, Grant of Probate is referred to as `confirmation'; the term is often just abbreviated to `probate', as in `obtain probate'.
