FAQs
What is estate administration?
It is the legal and financial process of finalising a person’s affairs after death, including collecting assets, paying debts and distributing the estate.
Do I need probate?
Probate is required when organisations need a court-issued grant before releasing assets.
How long does estate administration take?
Most estates take 6-12 months, depending on complexity and the type of assets involved. Estate disputes can slow this process down significantly
What if there is no Will?
An eligable family member can apply for letters of administration, and the estate is distributed under WA intestacy laws. The process is much more involved than an application for Probate where there is a Will.
Can I get legal help as an executor?
Yes, many executors engage lawyers to ensure the process is handled correctly and without delays.
