Probate & Estate Administration
The death of a loved one can be a difficult and emotionally charged time.
Our team of solicitors, including Accredited Specialists, has the experience and expertise to guide you through the process of administering a loved one’s estate.
With a deep understanding of Wills and Probate law, we provide clear, compassionate support to help you manage their affairs with confidence and care.
Our Specialists in Probate can advise you on:
Executor Duties
Being appointed as an executor comes with important legal responsibilities. We guide executors through every step of the process, ensuring they understand their obligations and carry out their role with confidence and compliance.
Application for Probate
Applying for probate can be a complex and time-sensitive process. We guide executors in preparing and lodging the necessary documents efficiently with the Supreme Court to validate a Will and authorise estate administration.
Administration of a Small Estate
Even small estates require careful handling to ensure assets are distributed correctly. We assist in navigating the legal requirements, offering practical advice and support to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
