Legal Project Management Plan & Checklist
Purpose of this Guide: Use this fork when the Queensland Probate Registry has issued a requisition identifying deficiencies in the application that must be fixed before the grant will issue. This is a routine step and does not mean the application has been rejected.
Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of Queensland (Probate Registry).
The Process at a Glance: Read the requisition carefully and list every item requiring correction. Gather any additional documents (corrected affidavit, further evidence, updated inventory). Draft a written response addressing each requisition point. Lodge the response with the registry promptly, noting any time limit. The registry reviews the response and proceeds to issue the grant if satisfied.
Key Legislation and Case Law: The registry's power to issue requisitions derives from the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (QLD) Chapter 15. Common requisitions relate to formal defects in the will, insufficient identity evidence, or an incomplete estate inventory.
