Letters of Administration
At Cajes Law, we assist eligible persons to apply for Letters of Administration where a deceased person did not leave a valid will, or in some cases where there is a will but no executor able or willing to act.
The Supreme Court of NSW states that a grant of Letters of Administration is a legal document issued by the Court that allows the administrator to manage and distribute the deceased’s assets. The Court recognises distinct applications for estates where there is no will and for grants with the will annexed.
