Grant of Probate, Letters of Administration & Estate Distribution
Probate & Administration
Our firm assists families with the legal process of administering an estate after a person passes away. Whether the deceased left a will (probate) or died intestate (without a will), our team provides guidance to ensure the estate is administered smoothly and lawfully while minimising delays and disputes.
What Is Probate & Estate Administration?
Probate and estate administration is the legal process of managing a person's estate after death — including confirming their will (if any), identifying beneficiaries, settling debts and distributing assets. The correct legal procedure depends on whether the deceased left a will.
Two Main Pathways
- Grant of Probate – used when the deceased left a valid will.
- Letters of Administration – used when there is no will (intestate).
