If your loved one has passed away overseas but left behind assets in Singapore, you may need to reseal a foreign Grant of Probate with the Singapore courts. This legal process recognises the probate order issued in another country, giving you the authority to manage and distribute the deceased’s assets located in Singapore.

We are here to help make this process straightforward and hassle-free. With fixed fees and a free initial consultation, we’ll guide you through your options with clarity and care.

What Is Resealing of a Foreign Grant?

When someone passes away while domiciled in a Commonwealth country or Hong Kong, and their estate includes assets in Singapore, there's no need to start the probate process all over again. Instead, you can apply to the Singapore High Court to “reseal” the foreign grant—whether it’s a Grant of Probate or Grant of Letters of Administration.

Once resealed, the foreign grant becomes legally valid in Singapore. This allows the appointed executor or administrator to manage local assets such as:

  • Bank accounts
  • Life insurance payouts
  • Shares in Singapore-based companies
  • Real estate and property

When Is Resealing Necessary?

You’ll typically need to reseal a foreign grant when:

  • The deceased was domiciled in a Commonwealth country or Hong Kong
  • A valid Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration has been issued in that jurisdiction
  • The deceased owned assets located in Singapore

If the deceased was domiciled in a non-Commonwealth country, a fresh application for a Grant of Probate in Singapore is required. This process is more time-consuming and involves engaging a foreign lawyer to help prepare supporting documents and affidavits.

How Long Will It Take?

  • Resealing a Grant of Probate: Around 3 months - 4 months
  • Resealing a Grant of Letters of Administration: Around 4 months
  • Fresh Grant (Non-Commonwealth): Around 6 months
