Probate
The preparation and filing of an Application for Probate of a Will in the Supreme Court of New South Wales may be necessary where a person has died and left a property or home that needs to be transferred to another person (and a Transfer registered in the Land Titles Office) or has left substantial other assets held by the bank or Public Trustee or Protective Commissioner.
Often in these situations you will need the Court to grant the Probate document in the order that the assets or home can be properly transferred.We can assist you in this regard and you will need to bring to us details of the persons death, their assets and details of any Will, or if no Will, then details of the persons spouse and relatives so that the proper beneficiaries can be identified.
In some instances there may be no need for a formal Application to be made, although each situation should be looked at separately.If you have any questions about WILLS or Probate matters, contact us or call us today.
