I applied for probate for a relative late last year. There was a Will but it was quite old so one of the executors has passed away and one is too unwell to assist.
As part of the process the ill executor signed a PA11 form making me and and the deceased’s spouse the attorneys for the will so we could administer on their behalf.
Today I have received ‘Letters of Administration with Will’ in the post. Can we now administer the will? Or will we also be getting a separate grant of probate that we need to wait for? I have googled and googled but can’t find a clear answer anywhere.
In case it makes a difference, all assets will pass to the surviving spouse and the estate value is under £1m but the deceased had assets in their sole name of around £50k so we were advised we needed to apply for probate (by one of the financial organisations who hold some of the funds).
Many thanks in advance.
