Common questions about NSW probate

Not always. Small estates, jointly held assets and assets with nominated beneficiaries such as superannuation may not require probate. However most estates that include real property in NSW or significant assets at any single institution will require a grant. We can advise you quickly at no charge.
We prepare and file applications as quickly as possible, often within days of receiving all necessary documents. The NSW Supreme Court currently processes most applications within 4 to 8 weeks of filing.
Our fees are calculated based on the value and complexity of the estate, which is standard for probate work in NSW. We provide a clear written fee estimate before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect. The total also includes the NSW Supreme Court filing fee, which is calculated on the gross estate value. Call us for a free initial consultation and fee estimate.
Where a person dies without a valid will they have died intestate. An eligible family member can apply for Letters of Administration. The estate is then distributed according to NSW intestacy law. We handle these applications regularly and can advise on who is entitled to apply.
No. We handle probate matters for families across all of NSW entirely by phone, email and post. You do not need to visit our East Maitland office at all.
A grant of probate is a formal order from the NSW Supreme Court confirming that a will is valid and that the executor named in it has legal authority to administer the estate. Banks, share registries and the NSW Land Registry generally require a grant before releasing or transferring assets where the estate exceeds their threshold.
Probate is the Court process of obtaining formal authority to deal with the estate. Estate administration is everything that follows: collecting assets, paying debts, transferring property and making the final distribution. We can assist with both.
Contested estate matters require prompt, experienced advice. We represent both executors and claimants. Strict time limits apply - an application must generally be filed within 12 months of the date of death. Contact us as soon as a dispute arises.
