How do I submit this? I am in the UK and do not want to incur more legal fees. Can I send the documents by courier to the High Court with a copy of the LoA and my report? Who's attention should it go to ?
Yes, as an executor or administrator, you must report back to the High Court on the distribution of assets to beneficiaries
You have to submit report to registrar testamentary division of HC
A person to whom a grant of Probate or Letters of Administration is made is required to file a full and true inventory of the property and credits of the estate and of all the debts owing by any person in Court within six months, or such further time as the Court may allow from the date of the grant and to render accounts within one year, or such further time as the Court may allow (section 317).
As an executrix with a Letter of Administration and Will annexed, you must submit an inventory and account of the estate to the High Court per the Indian Succession Act, 1925. This includes:
How to Submit:
Tip: Confirm the mailing address with the court beforehand to ensure proper delivery.
The executrix then has to file a report before high court after disbursal of the estates/assets to the legal heirs.
The court responsible for issuing the Letter of Administration is typically the district court or high court, depending on where the assets are located.
Therefore you are required to file your report before the court which granted the LOA.
317. Inventory and account.—
It's the responsibility and liability of the person on whose name the LOA is decreed. You just hire an advocate, who will intimate the same to the LOA holder through a Legal Notice. Your work finishes there.
if you are an 'executrix' i am not able to understand how you got a LA with Will annexed
always if there is an executor named in the Will, then a probate is granted
generally nobody files such a report after being issued the grant [probate or LA with Will annexed]
however if you get any notice from the Court then you can comply with such notice and file the said inventory report in Court
- If there is direction by the high Court to submit the report of distribution of assets , then you have to comply the order after submitting the same
- You can send the proofs of the same to the Registry of High Court with a list of documents , however it is better to take services of the lawyer.
- If there is no order like this , then not required to submit the said reports.
