Obtaining a Jersey grant of probate: the fast-track procedure

Where a financial institution based in Jersey is advised of the death of an asset holder, the financial institution will insist on the production of a Jersey grant of probate or letters of administration before releasing the assets. An exception to this is where the value of the assets is less than £10,000, in which case it is left to the financial institution's discretion as to whether they insist on the production of a Jersey grant.
