Written in simple, non-technical language, the book demonstrates how to apply for and obtain letters of probate or administration and transfer assets.Step-by-step instructions are given in the book and all the required forms are included on the enclosed CD-ROM.

This kit also contains Administration Forms, which are required when the deceased did not have a valid will. When someone has died, it must be proven by a legal process that a will has been validly made and executed.

The new edition features a restructured format for easier understanding of the different procedures for Probate and Administration, updated forms and text to reflect the new Wills, Estates and Succession Act which goes into effect on March 31, 2014, and it's divided into easy-to-understand sections about probate (with a will), administration (without a will), and administration (with a will that is invalid or incomplete).

This book demonstrates in easy-to-understand terms how anyone faced with this difficult situation can probate an estate without consulting a lawyer.
