The application includes a lengthy oath, which is sworn by an executor, administrator or their attorney and submitted together with supporting estate documents and the appropriate fee.
When we apply for probate in the Isle of Man, we usually act under a power of attorney from the legal representative of the estate. This allows us to agree and swear the required oath, following which the probate will be issued and we can then attend to the administration of the assets – in accordance with our client’s instructions.
We are able to deal directly with the Isle of Man court and do not employ the services of any agents or associates in the Isle of Man, unless a specific court order is required.
