Grant of Probate
Essential Documentation for Probate Filing
A Grant of Probate is required when a person passes away with a valid Will and has named an executor. This legal document gives the executor the legal authority to administer the deceased’s estate, settle debts, and distribute assets in accordance with the will.
It is typically needed when the estate includes immovable property, bank accounts, investments, or other significant assets that require formal administration through the High Court of Malaya. If the deceased did not leave a Will or the executor is unwilling or unable to act, a different legal process such as applying for Letters of Administration will apply.
Essential Documentation for Probate Filing
- Original Will: The official and signed copy of the deceased's Will
- Original Death Certificate: This document verifies the passing of the deceased individual
- Identity Card (NRIC) of the Executor: Identification for the individual appointed to execute the Will
