Probate applications are necessary in order for one to be able to distribute the property of the deceased to the heirs in the case that the deceased have not left a will or the will is in disputed.

In cases where there is a will of the deceased then the distribution of the property is done in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Wills and Inheritance which states the legal heirs in a hierarchical order of priority based on the degree of relationship with the deceased. The first class of legal heirs is the spouse and children who will usually inherit an equal share of the estate.

However, in most of the cases where there is no will or there is one but it is void or disputed then an Application for Probate must be made.

A Probate application process requires securing a series of documents and procedures so that the registration of the application can be successful. It also requires the appointment of an administrator and guarantor before the final distribution of the property can be made.
