Probate and deceased estates.
Probate applications and the administration of a deceased estate.
Your people
The work.
After a death, the executor usually needs a grant before banks and the land titles office will move. Probate and deceased estates sit beside our wills work. Mariah Ikonomopoulos works in estate administration. Theodosi Cotsaris and Charlotte Woodroffe are on the estates team.
Bring the will if you have it, a death certificate if one has issued, and a rough list of the assets. If there is no will, say so at the start.
Fees, before you begin.
We do not publish a fixed fee for this work. Fees are set out up front, before the file is opened, so ask for the estimate in the first conversation.
Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm them with us before relying on them.
