Probate & Estate Administration

Compassionate legal guidance to manage and distribute a loved one’s estate, ensuring all legal and financial obligations are handled smoothly.

When a loved one passes, their assets and liabilities need to be dealt with in accordance with the law. In many cases, the deceased’s assets and liabilities cannot be transferred or paid to the nominated beneficiary until a grant of Probate, (where there is a Will) or Letters of Administration (where there is no Will) are granted by the Supreme Court of NSW.

Our probate and estate administration lawyers provide you with personalised service to guide you through the many steps needed to allow you to legally transmit the estate assets to the beneficiaries, in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We accept the burden of most of the estate’s management and processing, leaving you free to deal with personal matters. We confirm that Governmental and financial institutions requirements are becoming more complex and difficult to navigate, in estate matters.

We will provide a personalised service and to keep you fully informed through this process.

We are able to assist with:

  • Ascertaining the assets and liabilities of the estate
  • Obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration
  • Recording the change of ownership of real property
  • Closing accounts with financial institutions
  • Transfer of share in listed and unlisted companies
  • Assisting with their change of control in private companies and trusts
  • Managing distributions of the estate including the payment to beneficiaries
