Our probate lawyers are here to prepare everything that you require for a successful probate, allowing you and other executors to be able to officially carry out distributing the deceased person’s estate.

Probate refers to the process of validating the will upon the death of the deceased person and enabling the executor(s) to distribute the estate as outlined in the will. There is a common misunderstanding that wills are immediately valid after the passing of the deceased, however wills need to be passed through a court (differs by State) to be able to be approved by law and officiated.

In New South Wales, once the deceased person has passed, their assets vest in the NSW Trustee (under the Probate and Administration Act 1898). The executor outlined in the deceased person’s will then needs to apply for a Grant of Probate. Once that is established, the executor will have the authority to carry out their duties in distributing the deceased person’s estate according to what has been outlined in the will.

At PK Simpson, our NSW Probate lawyers will apply on behalf of the executor(s) and represent the case throughout the entire process. From preparing documents, going to court proceedings, to resolving conflicts that arise between beneficiaries, our team of specialist Probate Lawyers NSW have the expertise to deliver outcomes that best fits all parties.

NSW Probate Lawyer Duties

Our NSW Probate lawyers are here to assist executors in applying for the Grant of Probate which involves outlining the accurate value of the deceased person’s assets, calculating and paying relevant income, estate taxes, and expenses, as well as many other processes. Once these requirements have been met and approved by the court, the will is officiated and the executors are granted authority to distribute the deceased person’s estate as outlined in the will.

It’s important to seek legal assistance from only the most highly experienced and reputable lawyers in New South Wales for a successful result.
