Administration of Small Estates Act (Cap. 4)
The legislative authority establishes a streamlined procedure for estates valued at two hundred and forty dollars or less. Eligible relatives apply to the Registrar for letters of administration or probate, which are granted without bonds or oaths after verifying estate value and identity. A fixed fee of one dollar and twenty cents covers all applications, while knowingly providing false statements triggers summary conviction with fines up to one hundred and twenty dollars or six months imprisonment.
