Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does It Take To Complete Probate?
Six to eight months is the typical timeline for a straightforward probate. Times will vary depending on the number, location and variety of assets in the estate. More complicated estates can take considerably longer.
What is the difference between Probate and Administration of an Estate?
Probate is the legal process that takes place after a death where the deceased had a Will. It involves proving in court that the deceased’s Will is valid, which is usually a very routine matter. If there is no Will, then this process is called Administration of Estate. Family members of the deceased will generally request a grant of Administration to prevent the assets being distributed in accordance with the Succession Act, 1965.
