How do I deal with a probate requisition?

If there is a problem or deficiency with an application for probate or letters of administration, the Probate Registry will issue a requisition. The requisition will specify the required information or documents. Usually, the applicant must then remedy the requisition within 21 days, or the application will be rejected. Common requisitions can be remedied by filing supplemental affidavits clarifying the questions raised in the requisitions. Some requisitions may request affidavits from witnesses to the will (especially if it was not signed property) or the deceased’s former doctor. Satisfying a Probate requisition can be a complex process, so it is advisable to seek legal advice before proceeding.
