Resealing UK Probate In South Africa
If you are an executor of an estate that includes assets in South Africa, you may need to have the English Grant of Probate resealed by the South African Courts before dealing with those assets. The Colonial Probates Act of 1892 permits the resealing of British Letters of Administration or Grants of Probate in South Africa. This is easier than making new applications for the Grant of Probate in South Africa.
How Does Probate Work in South Africa?
A resealed Grant is legally required to deal with assets in South Africa. That said, institutions holding very low-value assets may sometimes release them without a full reseal, so in this circumstance, it is not compulsory. However, a resealed Grant (or a South African Letters of Executorship) is always mandatory for high-value assets or any immovable property (real estate) in South Africa.
