A Grant of Probate is the Supreme Court's confirmation that a Will is valid and that the executor has authority to deal with the estate. Banks, super funds and the Lands Titles Office often need it before they release funds or transfer property.

Executors have legal duties: to collect the assets, pay the debts and distribute the estate as the Will directs. An executor can be held personally responsible if this isn't done properly.
