Probate Requisition help and information
What is a probate requisition?
Probate is the legal process of authenticating a will and appointing an executor or administrator to an estate. Probate requisitions are requests from the court for additional information or documents during the probate process. In Western Australia, a probate requisition may be issued if there is a problem or deficiency with the application. Probate requisitions are generally issued by the Probate Registry and must be served on all interested parties, including the executor or administrator. If a probate requisition is not complied with, the Probate Registry may refuse to grant probate. Probate requisitions are an important part of the probate process and should be taken seriously.
How do I deal with a probate requisition?
If there is a problem or deficiency with an application for probate or letters of administration, the Probate Registry will issue a requisition. The requisition will specify the required information or documents. Usually, the applicant must then remedy the requisition within 21 days, or the application will be rejected. Common requisitions can be remedied by filing supplemental affidavits clarifying the questions raised in the requisitions. Some requisitions may request affidavits from witnesses to the will (especially if it was not signed property) or the deceased’s former doctor. Satisfying a Probate requisition can be a complex process, so it is advisable to seek legal advice before proceeding.
