Description
This session is a practitioner’s introduction to the practicalities of obtaining a grant of representation from the High Court. From the questions to ask when a client walks into the office to compiling the list of assets, preparing the originating summons and affidavit in support, attending the hearing and things to do post-hearing, we will explore these together with the relevant procedures, customs and practices of the registrars.
This 101 Series is for practitioners who are looking for a refresher or who are interested in obtaining a grant of representation for their clients, as well as estate and succession planners who want to know what is required to obtain a grant of representation, thereby allowing better preparation when succession planning.
