Perth Letter of Administration FAQ
A Letter of Administration is a legal document issued by the court that allows a person to administer the estate of someone who died without a will (intestate). It is needed when there is no appointed executor because the deceased did not leave a will, or the named executor is unable or unwilling to act.
Generally, the closest living relative of the deceased, such as a spouse, child, or parent, can apply for Letters of Administration. If there is no eligible family member, the court may appoint a public trustee or another suitable person to administer the estate.
Learn more about the application process by calling us on 08 6156 2700 or on the Supreme court of WA.
The time it takes to obtain Letters of Administration can vary depending on the complexity of the estate and the court’s processing times. It usually takes several weeks to a few months from the time of application. Delays may occur if the application is contested or if additional documentation is required.
