Deceased estate

When it comes to managing a deceased estate, we know that it’s a sensitive topic. They’re complex matters, that deal with close-knit families, precedent set over generations of ownership and the emotional and challenging situation that arises from losing a loved one.

So at WA Property Lawyers, we help you to look at it objectively and support you throughout the process.

We work with you and your family to analyse the estate, understand the legal requirements, the deceased’s wishes, and then provide advice and guidance to ensure that the process is as smooth as possible.

Grant of Probate

When a family member passes away, you don’t want to be left wondering what to do. A Grant of Probate allows the executor to legally carry out the terms of their Will.

At WA Property Lawyers, our experienced legal team partners with you to manage this process of your behalf. We liaise with the necessary people and entities to obtain your Grant of Probate, allowing you to then ensure your loved one’s wishes are honoured and their estate is administered smoothly.

We handle all legal requirements with sensitivity and precision, providing peace of mind during a difficult time.

Letters of Administration

Sometimes situations can arise where a loved one passes away without a valid Will. In these cases, an application for Letters of Administration can be made to the Supreme Court to allow an administrator to deal with their assets and liabilities and distribute their estate in accordance with the provisions of the Administration Act 1903 (WA).

When it comes to rural families, this can be particularly complex, as assets can include land, property, business dealings, equipment or livestock. We work with you to obtain Letters of Administration, providing you with the support and expertise needed to administer the estate.

Estate administration

We understand the processes involved in attending to a deceased estate after a loved one’s passing.

Our experienced legal team provides compassionate and caring support, handling every aspect of the estate administration, from arranging valuations to discharging liabilities and distributing the remaining estate. We work closely with you helping to ease the burden during a particularly difficult time.
