In this episode, Caite & Michele delve into the world of limited and special Grants that may be required to administer an estate, along with some example cases!
Caite takes us through a number of the limited grants, along with a brief distinction between a Grant of Probate and Grant of Letters of Administration.
In this chat, we talk about:
- the difference between a Grant of Probate and Grant of Letters of Administration;
- Full Grants, including:
- Letters of Administration cum testamento annexo (CTA);
- Letters of Administration de bonis non;
- Limited Grants, including:
- durante minore aetate - during infancy;
- durante absentia - during absence;
- during incapacity;
- pendente lite;
- ad colligenda bona;
- ad litem.
Michele then takes us through the two cases of MacDonald v MacDonald [2023] QSC 149, dealing with a pendente lite Grant, and Re Kelly [2022] QSC 117, dealing with an ad colligenda bona Grant.
You can (and should!) read the full cases - they're only 10 and 5 pages respectively!
