Jersey 'Fast Track' Fact Sheet

In Jersey, a mechanism exists whereby a British Grant issued in the estate of a British domiciled person can be re-sealed via what is known as the 'fast track' process. Introduced by the Probate (Jersey) Law 1998, this process is essential - and is in fact a legal requirement - when a British domiciled individual leaves assets in Jersey which have a date of death value of more than £10,000.

The fast track process is only available for British domiciled estates where the deceased was domiciled in either England and Wales, Guernsey, Scotland, Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man, and a corresponding Grant of Representation (Probate or Letters of Administration) must have been issued by the Court or Registry in the country of domicile. The application for the process must be made via a Jersey agent.
