it normally take within 3 to 6 months for a letter of adminisration to be granted. you would need at lest 2 person whom are willing to act as adminisrators, an application is put in for a letter of adminisration(loa) to be issued the application must contain the name of the proposed administrators, thereafter you are given a form which the administrator are to sign. among the form is what is known as a bank certificate. this BC is taken to all the bank and registrars of any company your dad owns shares whatever amount is to the credit of the deceased is endorsed upon the BC. the form duly filed and signed by all the adm and the fees payable are assessed by the govt(at the rate of 10% of whatever is the assest of the estate(i.e bank balance + value of shares+ landed property) after payment of the tax you pay for advertisement and wait 28days if no objection is filed the letter of adm is issued to the adminisrators. if you need further info you can call barr. efemena on 08086609610

Letter of adminisrator takes time to get atleast from my own experience. We have been processing ours for a year now....our lawyer said it is in its final stage now.. just remaining for the Registrar of Probate to sign
e no easy oooo

Thanks 4 d replies. . .is it possible to get it within a month,as in bribing my way to get it. . . .

L of A takes 6 months, at least, if you have a knowledgeable and efficient lawyer. If anyone issues it to you in 1 month because you 'bribed' them, it is most likely a FAKE document that he/she issued you. But then, why would you want to bribe your way out of this, why not wait and do it right?

We are cash strapped..we started dis thing since last yr & up till now the man handling it is telling us stories so as to collect money from us(that fucking thief at d probate court). .u sure we can't get it within 3 months? Y does it have to take that long to get even with a sleek lawyer..my question again,y does it take that long?

The process starts with collection of the form from probate and filling it. There is a copy that needs to be endorsed by the bank stating the amount in there and also by the various registrars (for shares) stating the units of shares own. This is used to value the deceased, in order for govt to collect their 10%.
The 2 sureties would then be invited to the probate for a kind of interview.
The next stage is the newspaper publication where 21 days notice is given. If the 21 days elapsed without anyone filing an objection, then u have gotten to the final stage where the letter of administration is prepared, approved by a probate judge and then signed by the probate registrar.
For the bank, when u submit a copy of the L of A to them, they sends it to their legal dept for verification. It is after their legal people confirms the authenticity of the L of A that the bank can then proceed with payment.

From your last paragraph,how long will this verification take(4rm verification to pay out). .and,padon me for asking,is L of A a requirement for processing a deceased's benefits. .i mean if the deceased happened to work with the Nigeria police?

how much does it take to complete the processing?
My late brother own still unprocess, i lost him 2009.

Noting much. .just 2k for publication and 10k for mobilization fee. .dats not including d 10% of his total asset or money he has any where. .but if u employ d services of a lawyer,thats a diff cash entirely. . .was your bros in d armed force?

Well I cant really say how long it will take the bank to verify the L of A cos We submitted ours just last thursday.

I do not think L of A is a requirement for processing of a deceased benefits at his place of work

Wow. . Thanks dear,u'v been kinda helpful. . .that means i should start processing his benefits since d L of A isn't needed?

The_keeper: Noting much. .just 2k for publication and 10k for mobilization fee. .dats not including d 10% of his total asset or money he has any where. .but if u employ d services of a lawyer,thats a diff cash entirely. . .was your bros in d armed force?

i met a lawyer last, who said 30k, can u imagine and still want 10% according to him.
Please, can u give me some clue how to start that is lesser, thanks and i appreciate ur co-operation

Tonjeola. .that's what u get when u employ d services of a lawyer. . . But dat 10% is a real turn off for me. .any way,who am i to question what a lawyer bills his client. .am lucky to have a top law firm handling mine,free of charge 4 that matter. .God help us

dont use a lawyer oooo, because u will still spend some time pursuing it
and will collect 10% of the amount and once money exchange hands the lawyer
will become to behave funny.

i started with a lawyer after he was moving too slow for me, i decommission him and
process the letter my self. it took us about six month to get the letter of administration
from probate.

hmmm...thats bad.so how long did it take u to get your deceased's cash after submitting the L of A?

The_keeper: House,pls i want to knw how long it takes to get a letter of administration as my dad passed away last year without a will...öne of his friends,Dr wale babalakin of bicourteny asked me to bring his death cert & other documents so his lawyers at his law firm can start processing it.

If Babalakin law firm is handling it for you, why fretting?

Letter of Admin takes time. It depends on many things.

Where your father died, his relatives, the nuclear family.

If you father had more than one wife it becomes more difficult.

The family will hold a meeting and choose two of you.

That is the beginning and pray it is not thwarted along the way.
