The Chief Justice, the Hon. Zailia McCalla has agreed to put in special arrangements in place to clear the outstanding Letters of Administration and Probate that were awaiting the gazetting of the new fees. This was one of several issues discussed in a meeting between the Minister of Justice, Hon Delroy Chuck and Chief Justice on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. The new fees were gazetted on Monday, July 11, 2011.

In April of this year, fees on Probate and Letters of Administration that are in the system as at April 27, 2011 were reduced and a flat payment of $5,000 became applicable. This was instituted by the Minister of Finance and the Public Service, Hon. Audley Shaw as a part of the raft of revenue measures aimed at stimulating growth in the economy. (Photo by: Kahmile Reid)
