Letters of Administration may be granted in one of two ways. In the first, the Will is annexed to the Grant of Letters of Administration, whereas in the second, the Will is not attached to the Grant of Letters of Administration.
A grant of
letters of administration intestate with the will annexed is requested
when a deceased has a will but the designated executor is not performing that
job due to any circumstance. The applicant will be designated as the estate's
administrator rather than the executor receiving probate.

Even after getting
Letters of Administration with the Will Annexed, an Administrator is still
necessary to administer the estate in line with the Will
A Grant of Letters of
Administration is required when a person passes away intestate without a valid
Will and is requested. The applicant
will be selected to serve as the estate's administrator and be responsible for
conducting the estate's business legally.
Requesting letters from
the administration
A Grant of Letters of
Administration must frequently be requested by beneficiaries of an estate. This
will typically be the deceased person's surviving spouse, flatmate, or
children. If the deceased person's parents or sibling don't have a suitable
spouse, or children, they may submit an application. Section 25 of the
Administration Act 1903 specifies who the Court may authorise to administer an
intestate person's estate.
