Estate administration involves a range of legal requirements, including identifying and securing assets, paying debts and preparing final tax returns.

Contact us for guidance tailored to your situation, and let our team manage the legal complexities while you focus on your family.
Disputes can arise over wills, executor duties and estate entitlements, often adding stress to already difficult times. Our team has strong litigation experience and can advise executors, beneficiaries and family members on resolving contested estates, including negotiation and court representation if needed. When disputes emerge, we provide strategic, compassionate legal support to help you move forward with clarity.
A Grant of Probate is a legal document issued by the court confirming that a will is valid and that the executor has authority to administer the estate. It is commonly required to access bank accounts, transfer property and distribute assets in accordance with the will.
When there is no valid will, an eligible person must apply for Letters of Administration to obtain legal authority to manage and distribute the estate under NSW intestacy laws. This process can be complex, and legal guidance can help ensure the estate is administered correctly and without unnecessary delays.
An executor is responsible for collecting estate assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries in line with the will or legal requirements. The role carries legal obligations, and experienced legal support can help executors meet their duties efficiently and with confidence.
