If someone close to you has died, in most cases a solicitor will need to be involved to assist with the administration of their estate. This will enable their assets to be sold and/or distributed to their beneficiaries.
The first step is to establish whether they had a valid Will and, if so, where it is and who the Trustees / Executors are. Give us a call to help you with this.
Once the Will is located the named Trustees / Executors will then most likely need to apply for Probate of the estate. Probate is the authorisation by the High Court to enable the Trustees/Executors to be able to go about bringing in the assets and paying the bills. Probate is only necessary if your loved one has assets that need to be called in that are valued at more than $15,000.00. If your not sure about their assets, or the values, give us a call and we will be happy to answer your questions.
It can be a confusing and upsetting time, especially if you are unsure of what to do. We will be able to guide you and ensure all the legal requirements are met.
