Document background
The Estate Claim Form is a crucial document in Singapore's probate process, required when seeking authority to administer a deceased person's estate. This form must be submitted to the Family Justice Courts whether applying for Grant of Probate (when there is a will) or Letters of Administration (when there is no will). The form includes comprehensive details about the deceased's assets, liabilities, and beneficiaries, serving as the primary document for the court to assess the legitimacy of the claim and ensure proper distribution according to Singapore law. It requires careful attention to detail and must be supported by various documents including death certificates, asset documentation, and identification papers.
