FAQ

1. Why should I make a Will?

A Will lets you decide who inherits your assets, appoint guardians for minor children, and name executors to carry out your wishes. Review it after major life events, such as divorce.

2. What happens if I die without a Will?

You are deemed to have died intestate. Your assets will be distributed under the Intestate Succession Act, and you will have no say over who administers your estate or inherits your assets.

3. What are an executor’s or administrator’s responsibilities?

They identify the deceased’s assets and debts, settle liabilities, collect assets, and distribute them under the Will or intestacy law.

4. What happens if there is more than one Will or the Will cannot be found?

The most recent Will generally overrides earlier Wills. If it cannot be found, searches may be conducted through the Wills Registry and elsewhere. A certified copy may sometimes be used; otherwise, the estate may be distributed under intestacy law.

5. How can I revoke or amend an existing Will?

If you have mental capacity, you can revoke or amend your Will. A lawyer can advise on the appropriate process.

6. What must I do to administer a deceased parent’s, spouse’s, or sibling’s property?

If there is a Will, the named executor applies for a Grant of Probate using the original Will. If there is no Will, eligible family members may apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration.

7. How long does it take to obtain a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration?

It typically takes around three to four months, depending on the estate’s complexity and assets.

8. Can I include digital assets in my Will?

Yes. Proper planning should include safeguards and relevant access information for those assets.

9. Who can apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration?

Usually, one or more family members of the deceased may apply. If there is a dispute, the court decides who should apply.

10. What if I do not know what assets the deceased owned?

Lawyers can contact local banks, insurers, and the Central Depository to identify accounts and shares, and conduct property searches to locate assets.

11. What should I do if I am named as executor in a Will?

You must apply for a Grant of Probate and administer the estate according to the Will.

12. What happens if someone challenges a Will for lack of capacity or undue influence?

A contentious probate court application is required. The court will decide the Will’s validity after a hearing or trial.
