Probate

Simplifying the probate experience for you

Probate is a legal process that establishes the validity of a deceased person’s will and oversees the distribution of their assets according to their stated wishes. This critical procedure ensures that the deceased’s estate is handled with care and respect, allowing their belongings and resources to be allocated to the rightful heirs. It’s a crucial step in honouring the wishes of loved ones, offering a structured approach to managing their legacy after they’ve passed.

Navigating the probate process with compassion

The probate process begins with obtaining the death certificate and the will, followed by applying to the registry for a grant of probate. This allows the appointed executor to manage the deceased’s estate, including collecting assets from various sources such as property, bank accounts, and superannuation entitlements. Our experienced estate lawyers will guide you through this difficult time with care and compassion, helping you with every step, from straightforward documentation to handling disputes that may arise within six months of the grant. If there’s no will, we can assist with the necessary legal applications, ensuring a seamless process during a difficult time.

Letters of administration

These are required when a person dies intestate or without leaving a valid will. The reasons for this may be complicated. It is reassuring to be guided by one of our lawyers who understands the process and can support and advise. There are numerous classes of assets that the estate’s potential administrator cannot access without a Grant of Letters of Administration from the Supreme Court.

The administrator/s may be direct family members, spouses both legal and de facto or a suitable individual appointed by the Court if there is no family member. Once collected, the assets are distributed to the rightful recipients per the state intestacy law.
