​KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Limited Administration


Limited administration refers to the administration of a deceased person’s estate for specific and restricted purposes, as determined by the court. It is granted through letters of administration tailored to particular circumstances.


This type of administration may be used where full administration is not immediately possible or necessary. Examples include situations where assets need to be preserved temporarily or where an executor is absent or underage.


By limiting the scope of authority, the court ensures that only essential tasks are carried out. This allows flexibility in managing estates while protecting the interests of beneficiaries and creditors.
