Canterbury Probate Registry Office

is part of The Probate Service which is part of the Family Division of the High Court. Canterbury Probate Registry Office deals with ‘non-contentious’ probate business (where there is no dispute about the validity of a will or entitlement to take a grant), and issues grants of representation. These grants of representation are known as either:

Probate (when the deceased person left a valid will and an executor is acting)
Letters of administration with will (when a person has left a valid will but no executor is acting)

Letters of administration (usually when there is no valid will).

These different types of grants of representation appoint people known as personal representatives to administer the deceased person’s estate.
