LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION

LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION

Death is inevitable, but where a person passes on without leaving a Will, Nigerian probate/inheritance law provides how to share property after death, through a Letter of Administration.

A Letter of Administration is a document issued, legally authorizing close family members to deal with the properties of a person who died without making a Will.

Without it, no one has the lawful power to manage, sell, lease, transfer or share the late person’s properties. Banks will refuse access to his bank account.

With a valid Letter of Administration, the court appoints administrators and defines their authority to collect assets, settle debts and distribute properties.

It gives legal backing to family decisions that would otherwise be challenged.

However, this process is not merely filing papers in court. A mistake: wrong applicants, missing beneficiaries, undisclosed assets or poor documentation can trigger objections, court cases or criminal allegations.

That is why processing a Letter of Administration is best handled by an experienced Property and Business Lawyer who ensures proper due diligence, accurate identification of beneficiaries, lawful asset protection and right processing.

Letter of Administration prevents future quarrels, secures family wealth and protects administrators from personal liability.
