A Letter of Administration Without Will is required in Hong Kong when someone dies without leaving a valid will (intestate) and their assets need to be properly administered. This document is typically sought by the deceased's next of kin or other eligible parties who wish to be appointed as administrator of the estate. The application must be filed with the Hong Kong Probate Registry and includes detailed information about the deceased, their assets and liabilities, and the proposed administrator. The document is governed by Hong Kong law, particularly the Probate and Administration Ordinance and the Intestates' Estates Ordinance, which determine who has priority to apply and how the estate should be distributed. Once granted, it gives the administrator legal authority to gather assets, settle debts, and distribute the estate according to the intestacy rules.
