Putting a will in place can feel like a big conversation, but it is also a practical way to give your family clearer instructions.

A solicitor can help you think through who you want to appoint as executor, who you want to benefit, and whether your circumstances call for more tailored estate planning. A will should reflect your wishes and be prepared with the formal requirements in mind.

If your will is old, incomplete or still on your to-do list, a calm first conversation can help.

You do not have to make every decision today.

General information only. Estate planning depends on your circumstances and the applicable law.

When you are grieving, legal terms can make the next step feel harder than it needs to be.

A Grant of Probate is a court document that recognises the validity of a will and gives the named executor authority to deal with the estate. The exact process and requirements vary between Australian states and territories.

If a bank, property holder or another organisation asks for a grant, a probate solicitor can help you understand what is needed and prepare the application.

You do not have to work it out alone.

General information only. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and circumstances.

No two families, wills or estates are exactly the same. That is why good legal support begins with listening.

We take the time to understand what has happened, what documents are available and what matters most to you. Then we explain the options in plain English, including the likely work, agreed fees and practical next steps.

National Probate and Estates Group provides support across probate, estate administration, wills, disputes and property matters throughout Australia.

If you are unsure which service you need, start with a conversation. We will help point you in the right direction.

Being an executor is a position of trust, but it can also feel like a second job at a difficult time.

The role may involve locating assets, communicating with institutions and beneficiaries, dealing with liabilities, keeping records and distributing the estate when it is appropriate to do so. The exact responsibilities depend on the estate and the law that applies.

Professional guidance can help you understand the sequence, prepare the right documents and recognise when specialist advice is needed.

You remain the decision-maker for the estate, but you do not have to manage the process without support.

Property decisions often come with tight timelines and a long list of details. Clear conveyancing support can make those steps easier to understand.

Whether you are buying, selling or dealing with property connected to an estate, the contract, searches, finance, settlement and title requirements need to line up. Early review can help identify questions before they become urgent.

Our property team works alongside our probate and estates team, which is especially useful when a sale or transfer forms part of estate administration.

Probate is only one part of finalising a deceased estate. Tax may also need attention.

The legal personal representative may need to deal with the deceased person's final tax affairs and, in some cases, income earned by the estate after death. The ATO treats a deceased estate as a trust for tax purposes when an estate return is required.

What must be lodged depends on the income, beneficiaries and stage of administration, so it is worth getting tax advice before distributing the estate.

We can help coordinate the legal work while you seek advice from the appropriate tax professional.

An estate can cross state borders. The court grant does not always travel automatically with it.

If probate or administration was granted in one jurisdiction but the estate includes assets in another, a reseal may be needed before those assets can be dealt with. Whether it is available and required depends on the grant, the asset and the receiving jurisdiction.

Getting advice early can help you avoid preparing the wrong application or approaching an asset holder without the authority it needs.

National Probate assists with reseals of probate and administration.

General information only. Reseal rules vary by jurisdiction.

Some families need a will to do more than make direct gifts.

A testamentary trust is created under a will and begins after death. Depending on the design and the family's circumstances, it may help manage an inheritance for children, a vulnerable beneficiary or someone who would benefit from longer-term oversight.

It is not automatically the right choice for every estate. The benefits, administration and tax consequences need to be considered together with tailored legal and financial advice.

We can help you explore whether this structure fits what you want to achieve for your family.

Legal costs should not add another layer of uncertainty.

With an agreed fixed-fee service, the scope and cost of the work are explained before it begins. That gives you a clearer basis for deciding how to proceed and helps avoid surprise professional fees for the agreed work.

Every estate is different, so we first review the matter and provide a quote suited to the work required. If circumstances or scope change, that should be discussed clearly.

Ask our team for a transparent quote for your probate or estate matter.
