Probate And Estate Administration

In most cases when a person dies, their beneficiaries will need to apply to the Supreme Court of Victoria for a grant of probate to appoint the executors nominated in the will as the executors of the deceased estate, or to apply for letters of administration where there is no will.

We can assist you with the identification of assets and liabilities and prepare all the court forms for your application. Once you have received the grant of probate or letters of administration, you can either wind up or administer the estate yourself or we can do this for you.

This may be a simple matter of collecting the assets, paying the debts then distributing the remainder of the estate to the beneficiaries as outlined in the will. If there are testamentary trusts involved, we can administer the estate on your behalf while providing taxation and commercial advice.
