When someone closely related to you has passed away, you will need a letter of administration or a letter of probate (if there is a will) from the Subordinate Courts to administer the distribution of his estate as per his intentions.
To receive this letter, you would require the following documents:
– Death Certificate
– NRIC(s) of administrator(s)
– Marriage Certificates/Divorce Documents or Birth Certificates to prove your relationship with the deceased
– Name of a Trustee
– List of all Beneficiaries
– List of assets/shares/bank accounts and properties
– Original Will (if any)
