Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person by resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person's property in accordance with a valid will.
A probate practitioner is a person qualified in the law of succession, trusts law, relevant aspects of property law and the law relating to inheritance and and the administration of estates.
How to become a probate practitioner
To be a probate practitioner regulated by the CLC, you must first hold a licence as a licensed conveyancer in order to have the additional license to offer probate services.
If you have no educational or practical experience in the provision of probate services you will have to pass a course of training very similar to the CLC conveyancing course. In addition, you must complete two years practical training in probate.
