Limited Letters of Administration are court-issued documents that serve a specific purpose in Hong Kong's probate system. These letters are granted when there is a need to administer only certain aspects of a deceased person's estate, rather than the entire estate. The document is particularly useful in situations where full administration is not required or when temporary or specific administrative powers are needed, such as handling a single asset or managing estate matters for a limited time period. The Limited Letters of Administration must comply with Hong Kong's legal framework, particularly the Probate and Administration Ordinance (Cap. 10) and the Non-Contentious Probate Rules. This document provides clear boundaries of the administrator's authority, protecting both the administrator and the estate's beneficiaries by explicitly stating the scope and limitations of the administrative powers granted.
