The Difference Between a Probate Case with Full Authority and a Probate Case with Limited Authority: When the probate court gives an executor or administrator the authority to manage a case with full authority it means certain actions can be done with less of the judge’s supervision. More independence to manage the probate translates to less paperwork, less delay and possibly less time spent in the courtroom. The guidelines of the Independent Administration of Estates Act must be followed along with all court requirements and procedures. The ease is probably most notable in the sale of a home.
If the estate is large enough or there are other complex issues, a judge might only grant limited authority. It would be wise to consult with an attorney who specializes in probate as there might be ways to offset this limitation or you’ll need the expertise in the added rules and documents.
