Fast Track Probate in Jersey
Fast-track probate in Jersey
Quick access. Trusted guidance. Supporting you through loss.
Fast track probate relates to an individual who has died outside of Jersey but within one of the fast track jurisdictions (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man) and has movable assets 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.
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.
We take care of the paperwork and liaise with the court on your behalf, making the process as straightforward as possible during a difficult time.
