Succession Act 1965 section 37

Second and subsequent grants

Section 37 establishes that any further grants of probate or administration must be issued from the same office that made the original grant.

• Where a second or subsequent grant is needed in relation to an estate, it must come from the same office as the original grant.
• The original grant may have been issued from either the Probate Office or a district probate registry.
• This rule ensures that all grants relating to the same estate are handled consistently by one office.
• This means any party seeking a further grant must apply to the office that dealt with the matter originally, rather than to a different office or registry.
