Who Can Apply for Letters of Administration?
If someone dies without a valid Will (intestate), you may need to apply for letters of administration to legally manage and distribute the deceased’s estate.
In Australia, the law sets out who has the right to apply for letters of administration. Generally, the person with the closest relationship to the deceased—and the largest entitlement under intestacy laws—has priority.
Below is an overview of who can apply for letters of administration in Australia:
- The Surviving Spouse or De Facto Partner
- Children of the Deceased
- Parents
- Siblings
- Grandparents
- Aunts and Uncles
- Cousins
If no eligible relatives exist or they renounce their rights, another person with a legal or financial interest in the estate can ask the court for permission to apply for letters of administration.
