-
Probate
Application to the High Court for Probate in instances where there is a valid Will and you have been nominated as the Executor of that Will. The High Court can then grant probate which authorises the executor to distribute the deceased estate in accordance with the provisions of the Will.
-
Letters of Administration
If the case is complicated where a valid Will has not been left, then we can assist you with the application for Letters of Administration to the High Court. In these circumstances, there is legislation that details how an estate may be distributed and by whom. The High Court can appoint an Administrator to distribute the estate.
-
Claims Against Estates
If you expected to be a beneficiary of a Will but have not been provided for, you may be able to make a claim against the distribution of any estate, provided you can clearly set out reasons as to why you should be considered a beneficiary of the deceased estate.
-
Wills and Powers of Attorney
We always recommend keeping your estate planning documents up-to- date as it makes distributing your estate far easier on your beneficiaries in what is already a stressful and difficult time.
