with our Expert Probate Lawyers in Sydney
Probate is the legal process of proving a Will in the Supreme Court. It gives the executor authority to deal with the estate, including collecting assets, paying debts, and distributing inheritance to beneficiaries.
In most cases, probate can take around 6–12 weeks once the application is filed, depending on the court’s workload and the complexity of the estate.
While it is possible to apply yourself, probate applications can be complex. A lawyer ensures the paperwork is completed correctly, reducing the risk of delays, errors, or disputes.
If a person dies without a valid Will, the estate is administered under intestacy laws. This usually requires applying for Letters of Administration, which our lawyers can assist with.
Costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the estate, as well as court filing fees. We provide upfront quotes and transparent pricing so you know what to expect from the beginning.
