A Letter of Administration of Estate is required in Malaysia when a person dies without leaving a valid will (intestate). This document, issued by the Malaysian High Court under the authority of the Probate and Administration Act 1959, grants legal powers to an administrator to manage the deceased's estate. It is essential for accessing and distributing assets, settling debts, and ensuring proper estate administration. The application process involves detailed documentation of the deceased's assets, liabilities, and beneficiaries, and must comply with Malaysian civil law and, for Muslim estates, Syariah law requirements. The document is particularly crucial for banks, land offices, and other institutions in recognizing the administrator's authority to handle the deceased's affairs.
