IHTM05103 - Types of grant: other types of grant (England, Wales and Northern Ireland)

Grant of double probate	Where an executor ( IHTM05012) does not wish to prove, perhaps because of ill-health, and the other executors obtain probate, the right to join others later is reserved. When the non-proving executor wishes to take up office a grant of double probate is made. Application ( IHTM05081) for this is made on Cap Form A5C. For example, A dies having appointed B and C his executors. B takes out a grant alone as C is seriously ill. Later on, during the administration of the estate C recovers and takes out a grant of double probate joining B as co-executor.
Cessate grant	A grant which is limited as to its duration. The grant terminates at the end of a specified time span. As with a grant of double probate, application is made on Cap Form A5C.
Grant pendente lite	An interim grant effective for a limited time, for example, while the validity of a will ( IHTM12000) is being contested.
Grant ad colligenda bona	A grant for a limited purpose, intended to allow the administrator power to preserve the deceased's estate, for example, where part of the deceased's estate consists of perishable goods.
Limited probate	Where an executor is appointed in respect of certain assets only such as literary works.
Grant caeterorum	A grant which follows an initial grant in respect of limited property thus giving the administrator power over the remaining assets. Application for this type of grant requires submission of an account ( IHTM05023). Note: If the grant in respect of the remaining property is taken out before the limited grant then it is called a ‘save and except’ grant.
Settled Land Grant	Where land continues to be settled land after the death of the life tenant a separate settled land grant is required
