How many Administrators are required by law?

The maximum number of Administrators is a statutorily prescribed four (4) persons. Section 56 of the
Act provides that a grant of representation cannot be made to more than four (4) persons in respect of the
same property.

Where property is devolving upon a minor and a continuing trust arises, section 58 of the Act provides that no Grant of Representation can be issued to a sole Administrator, there must be two (2) or more administrators in such a case.
