Grants For Purpose: Limited and Special Grants in Estates

In this episode, Caite & Michele delve into the world of limited and special Grants that may be required to administer an estate, along with some example cases!

Caite takes us through a number of the limited grants, along with a brief distinction between a Grant of Probate and Grant of Letters of Administration.

In this chat, we talk about:

• the difference between a Grant of Probate and Grant of Letters of Administration;
• Full Grants, including:
  • Letters of Administration cum testamento annexo (CTA);
  • Letters of Administration de bonis non;
• Limited Grants, including: 
  • durante minore aetate - during infancy;
  • durante absentia - during absence;
  • during incapacity;
  • pendente lite;
  • ad colligenda bona;
  • ad litem.

Michele then takes us through the two cases of MacDonald v MacDonald [2023] QSC 149, dealing with a pendente lite Grant, and Re Kelly [2022] QSC 117, dealing with an ad colligenda bona Grant.

You can (and should!) read the full cases - they're only 10 and 5 pages respectively!
