Frequently
asked
questions
Can’t find what you are looking for?
What is deceased estate administration?
Deceased estate administration involves managing and distributing a deceased person’s assets according to their Will or our State’s intestacy laws. Our estate administration services ensure a smooth process, handling everything from Probate or Letters of Administration applications through to asset distribution with care and efficiency.
What does the estate administration process involve?
The process includes applying for Probate or Letters of Administration, collecting and valuing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Our team provides comprehensive estate administration services to handle these tasks seamlessly, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and working towards optimal outcomes.
How long does estate administration take?
The duration often varies based on the estate’s complexity. If it is uncomplicated, administration usually takes around 9 to 15 months, but can take longer if any disputes or unexpected hurdles arise during the process.
What happens if there is no Will?
If there is no Will, the estate must be distributed according to the default intestacy laws of the State. Our deceased administration lawyers can guide you through this process, ensuring fair and lawful distribution of assets to rightful heirs.
Can you help with disputes during estate administration?
Yes, we offer dispute resolution services to address conflicts that may arise during the administration process. Our experienced lawyers work to resolve disputes amicably, protecting the estate and beneficiaries’ interests, and minimising further grief.
