Letters of Administration refers to the legal process of applying to the Probate Registry to manage a deceased person's estate when there is no Will.

The court issues a "Grant of Letters of Administration", which gives the appointed Administrator the authority to handle the deceased's financial affairs.

To obtain this Grant, the Administrator must submit an application to the Probate Registry, and once approved, they are empowered to settle debts, collect assets, and distribute the estate.

The type of Grant issued depends on whether there is a valid Will:

• A Grant of Probate is issued if there is a Will.
• A Grant of Letters of Administration is issued if there is no Will.
