Fast Track Probate in Jersey

The fast track system can be used where the deceased died domiciled in one of the fast track jurisdictions and a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration have already been obtained in the country of domicile. A Jersey Grant of Probate is required when the total value of the Jersey assets held by a person domiciled outside of Jersey exceeds £10,000.

We assist individuals, law firms and institutions to obtain grants of probate in the Island in order to release the asset(s) held in Jersey. We charge a competitive fee for such applications and provide a very efficient turnaround time. In addition, if the deceased held an asset in the Island with certain financial institutions, a discount may be applicable.

If the deceased died domiciled in one of the fast track jurisdictions but probate or letters of administration have not been required, a full probate application will be required. For further information on this service please read our information on our Foreign Probate services.

• A court sealed and court certified copy of both the grant of probate and the will (or the letters of administration where appropriate).

• Information as to the source of wealth of the deceased.
