Our Deceased Estate Services Include:

When it comes to determining a party’s claim to financial assets in Australia, there are four main criteria that are taken into consideration.

Assistance with Probating a Deceased’s Last Will

Our team can provide assistance with probate applications for deceased estates. A Grant of Probate is a legal document issued by the Supreme Court of Victoria that verifies the last Will of the deceased and provides the named Executors with the authority to manage all the assets owned by the deceased at the time of their death.

Letters of Administration

Our team can provide assistance with Applications for Letters of Administration in the event that there is no will or the will is deemed invalid. When a person dies without a Will, the Supreme Court of Victoria can issue an order known as Letters of Administration. This order grants authority to the person with the greatest interest in the deceased’s estate to manage and distribute their assets.
