Probate Legal Services
We offer comprehensive assistance for preparing applications for Grants of Probate in NSW.
We carefully review the Will, death certificate and estate details to ensure the probate application is accurate, complete and ready for lodgement with the NSW Supreme Court. We guide executors through the process, helping to avoid unnecessary delays in obtaining the Grant of Probate and Administering the estate.
We publish the online probate notice correctly and confirm all mandatory timeframes have passed, ensuring compliance with NSW probate requirements and preparing executors for the next stage of the application so the probate grant can be issued without unexpected complications or delays.
Our team prepares all probate forms required by the Supreme Court probate NSW registry, ensuring each document is accurate, follows the required format, and complies with court rules, reducing risks that may delay the issuing of the probate grant.
We draft affidavits that clearly explain executor authority, explain the will’s validity, and provide essential estate information, ensuring the Supreme Court receives complete details during the probate application process and minimising the risk of requisitions that can slow the progress of an application.
If requisitions arise, we respond promptly and accurately, addressing the Court’s concerns and supplying any additional information needed to continue processing the probate application, ensuring the estate remains compliant with probate requirements NSW imposes throughout the process.
After the Grant of Probate is issued, we are able to support executors through the estate administration process, including collecting assets, paying debts, effecting property sales and/or transfers (subject always to the terms of the will), paying tax liabilities, defending claims against the estate, and guiding them through each step, ensuring the estate is finalised smoothly and in compliance with NSW estate administration rules.
