Can a UK Probate be resealed in the Isle of Man?

No, the Isle of Man does not allow the resealing of UK Grants of Probate or Letters of Administration.

Unlike some other jurisdictions, where foreign grants of probate can be resealed, the Isle of Man requires a separate application for probate if the deceased had assets in the Isle of Man or if the estate needs to be administered on the island.

This means that even if you already have a UK Grant of Probate, you will still need to go through the full probate process in the Isle of Man, which includes applying to the Isle of Man Probate Registry for a Grant of Probate specific to the Isle of Man.

This can be a separate application process and requires providing the necessary documentation, including the original grant from the UK, a death certificate, and details of the assets in the Isle of Man.
