Letters of Administration

The Letters of Administration is a document granted by the Supreme Court who appoints someone to legally administer the distribution of a deceased estate. The estate is usually distributed according to the intestacy rules in the Succession Act 2006 NSW. You can apply for Letters of Administration if:

• A person has died intestate (without a Will)
• A person did not name an executor in a valid Will
• The executor of the Will is unwilling or unable to act.
