Probate

When a loved one passes, leaving assets, it may be necessary for the Executor of the Will to obtain a Grant of Probate from the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

Probate is the process of validating a deceased person’s Last Will & Testament.

For the Supreme Court of New South Wales to grant Probate, the Court must determine the Will is valid and the Executor has permission to distribute the estate in accordance with the Will.

The process of applying for a grant of Probate can be lengthy as there are several requirements including: 

  • Obtain a Death Certificate

  • Publishing a Notice of Intended Application for Probate

  • Gathering supporting documents

  • Notifying and liaising with relevant institutions

  • Draft and file all relevant documents to apply for a grant of Probate

  • Publishing a Notice of Intended Distribution of an Estate

  • Distribution of Estate
