Probate and Estate Administration

Do you need help navigating the legal complexities of a loved one’s estate? When a loved one passes away, the legal aspects of managing their estate can feel overwhelming. This is where having a knowledgeable and compassionate legal partner can make all the difference.

Understanding Probate and Estate Administration

Probate and Estate Administration are essential processes that ensure a deceased person’s wishes are respected and their assets are distributed pursuant to the terms of will. Understanding these steps can bring clarity and peace of mind during a challenging time, ensuring your loved one’s legacy is handled with care and precision. 

The probate process involves proving the validity of a deceased person’s Will in court. This legal procedure confirms the executor’s authority to manage the deceased’s estate. Estate administration, on the other hand, encompasses the broader task of managing and distributing the estate according to the Will or, if there is no will, according to the rules of intestacy. Both processes require careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of Queensland’s legal system.
