What are the requirements for extrajudicial probate?
All heirs adult and capable, consensus on the distribution and no pending will. With a minor, an incapable heir or a dispute, probate must go through the courts.
Is it cheaper than judicial probate?
Generally, yes — it avoids court costs and is usually much faster. The main costs are the ITCMD, notary fees and the lawyer’s fees, which are mandatory in the extrajudicial route too.
How long does it take?
With documents in order and ITCMD paid, it is usually completed in weeks — far faster than judicial probate, which can take months or years.
There is a will. Can I still use a notary?
As a rule, a will meant judicial probate; today the extrajudicial route is allowed after the will is opened/registered in court. We assess your case and indicate the correct route.
