What are Wills?

A Will, or Last Will and Testament, can be defined as a legal declaration in which the person making the Will (the Testator) identifies one or more people to manage their estate and provides for the distribution of their estate following their death. A Will can also be used to create a Testamentary Trust that becomes effective following the death of the Testator.

Generally speaking, in order for a Will to be considered legally valid the following conditions must be met:

  • The Will must have been made in writing
  • The Will must have been signed by the Testator in the presence of at least two witnesses aged over 18, who must also have signed the Will in the Testator's presence
  • The Testator must have written the Will voluntarily, without undue pressure from another person
  • The Testator must have been fully aware of the nature of the Will, the property to be distributed and the identity of the beneficiaries
  • The Testator must have been 18 years of age or older at the time of making the Will. There can however be exceptions to this rule

What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process whereby a deceased person's estate is assessed and distributed. Who the beneficiaries of this distribution of the estate are will be determined by the Will, should one exist, or via the administration process should the deceased have died Intestate (without having left a valid Will).

The Probate process generally involves:

  • The issuing, by the courts, of a legal document known as a Grant of Probate
  • The resolution of any challenges to the Will
  • Distribution of the deceased's estate to the beneficiaries

Following this, if the deceased left a valid Will, naming an Executor then this person, should they accept the position, will handle the distribution of the estate. In certain circumstances, the beneficiaries of the estate may be able to remove the appointed Executor if they feel that this person is incapable of properly fulfilling the duties required.

If the deceased did not leave a valid Will then an Administrator (usually the next of kin) will be appointed to handle the disbursal of the estate.
