Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Trinidad and Tobago

Your question is vague. The conditions are the testator has died leaving a valid will and there is/are some asset that require the will to be probated.

Following are the steps for a probate of a will.

In a will executor(s) is/are named. A will only becomes effective and operational upon the death of the testator and must be probated. The executor(s) is responsible for the probate. If the value of the estate is $ 4,800.00 or less an Attorney-at-Law is not needed. The probate section will assist the executor(s).

A death certificate of the deceased, the original will endorsed by the executor(s), an oath from one of the witnesses, the application inclusive the inventory are presented to the registrar (probate section) for processing.
