In one case I looked at it was because the deceased had property outside the U.K so the Court could not grant any Administration in respect of it. To be sure what the limit was in your case you would need to get a copy of the Admon. Admin with Will could be that the original executor had died. One of the side effects of making a Will and then going on to lead a long life, outliving all your friends. -- BobC ========== Change "null" to "news" in reply address.

SUPPLEMENTARY: See also http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/ihtmanual/ihtm38249.htm for some more on "limited" Administrations. Perhaps in your case there was a later Admin or Probate if the Limited Admin just referred to a small part of the deceased's property. Have you checked forward a few years for another Probate ? - I've had one 13 years after death. -- BobC ========== Change "null" to "news" in reply address.
