What is Probate?

Probate is the process of proving and registering in the Supreme Court of Western Australia (often called “the Probate Office”) the last will of a Deceased. It is generally referred to as making an application for a Grant of Probate.

After someone has died the deceased person’s assets must be collected and the estate distributed according to the terms of the Will.

To do this an Executor needs to apply to the Supreme Court of Western Australia Probate Registry to obtain a Grant of Probate. If no Will exists the document issued by the Probate Registry is known as Letters of Administration.

The Probate Office issues an A4 sized paper with the seal of the Supreme Court upon it.  This “proves” that the person named on the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration is authorised to deal with the estate.

A Grant of Probate has attached to it a copy of the will.  The original will is held by the Supreme Court indefinitely.
