Trying to work out which Probate forms you need in Queensland?

You may come across Form 101, Form 103, Form 104, Form 105 and Form 111. Each has a different purpose, and using the wrong form or missing an important step can delay your application.

Our latest guide explains:

✅ What Form 101 is for
✅ How Form 103 works
✅ What Form 104 proves
✅ Why Form 105 matters
✅ When Form 111 is needed
✅ Common form mistakes
✅ How Court delays happen
✅ When extra forms are required

The difficulty is not simply filling in the blanks. You also need to know which documents to use, what evidence to attach, which waiting periods apply and whether any issues with the Will need to be explained.

How long does Probate take in Queensland?

It’s one of the first questions many Executors ask, especially when banks, beneficiaries, aged care providers or property matters are waiting on the Grant.

The frustrating part is that delays often happen before the application is even lodged.
Our latest guide explains the key timing issues, including:

✅ Waiting for the Death Certificate
✅ Locating the original Will
✅ Retrieving a Will from a law firm
✅ Checking the Will for issues
✅ Publishing the required notice
✅ Preparing the Court documents
✅ Avoiding Court requisitions
✅ How to move faster

A common delay is discovering that the original Will is held by another law firm.

Before Probate can proceed, the Executor may need to request the original Will, prove identity, provide the Death Certificate and arrange for release or delivery.

Probate Made Easy can help manage this process from the outset.

We can retrieve the original Will, prepare the documents and lodge the application properly, helping Executors avoid unnecessary delays.

✅ Why banks ask for Probate
✅ Can a bank require Probate?
✅ What to ask the bank
✅ Documents you may need
✅ Funeral expenses and bank accounts
✅ Common causes of delay
✅ What if there is no Will?

Most families don’t realise that you can’t deal with a loved one’s property in Queensland until the title has been legally updated, even when the Will is straightforward.

Our latest guide explains:

✅ What a Transmission Application is
✅ When you need one
✅ Record of Death vs Transmission
✅ Which form to use
✅ Required documents
✅ How long it takes
✅ PEXA or paper
✅ Selling the property after transmission

If you’re an Executor or family member managing a deceased estate, this will help you avoid delays and understand your next steps clearly.

Most families don’t realise that even when a property is owned as Joint Tenants, there are still important legal steps that must be taken after someone passes away.

When one joint tenant dies, their share passes automatically to the surviving owner through survivorship - but the title still needs to be formally updated with Titles Queensland.

Our latest guide explains everything you need to know, including:

✅ What a “Request to Record Death of Joint Tenant” is
✅ When you can lodge it and who is allowed to apply
✅ What documents you’ll need
✅ How long the process takes
✅ When a Transmission Application is required instead
✅ What happens if both joint tenants have died
✅ Whether you can lodge the request through PEXA

If you’re an Executor or family member dealing with a loved one’s property, this guide will help you understand the process clearly and avoid unnecessary delays.

Most families don’t realise that the way a property is owned in Queensland can completely change what happens after someone passes away.

If the home was owned as Joint Tenants, the surviving owner usually receives the property automatically.

But if it was owned as Tenants in Common, the deceased’s share becomes part of their estate, and the legal steps are very different.

Our latest guide breaks it all down in simple, practical terms so you know exactly what to do next, including:

✅ What each ownership type means
✅ What happens when one owner dies
✅ Whether you need a Record of Death or a Transmission Application
✅ How to transfer or sell the property
✅ Time-frames and documents you’ll need

If you’re an Executor or family member dealing with a loved one’s property, this article will guide you forward.
