Frequently asked questions.
What is included in the fixed-fee probate service?
The fixed fee covers the agreed legal work involved in preparing and progressing the probate application. The exact inclusions and any exclusions should be confirmed with Estates Now before proceeding.
Are government and court fees included in the fixed fee?
Government, court and other applicable disbursement fees may be charged separately from the legal fee. Estates Now can confirm the applicable costs for your circumstances.
Estates Now can guide you through the appropriate process, help prepare the required documents and provide support throughout the estate administration process.
Am I eligible to apply for Probate?
Eligibility depends on the circumstances of the estate and the terms of the Will. Generally, the executor named in a valid Will may need to apply for a Grant of Probate where one is required. Estates Now can help you understand which process may apply.
How long does the probate process take?
The timeframe can vary depending on the estate, the documents required, the relevant court and other circumstances. Estates Now can provide guidance on the process and what may be required for your particular matter.
Which Australian states and territories do you service?
Estate administration and probate requirements can vary between Australian states and territories. Estates Now provides legal assistance across its supported jurisdictions. Please contact us to confirm whether we can assist with your particular matter.
What happens if there is no Will or the estate is complicated?
Where there is no valid Will, the estate may be dealt with under the intestacy laws that apply in the relevant state or territory. More complex estates may require additional legal work depending on the circumstances.
What happens if there is a dispute over the estate?
Disputes can arise over a Will, beneficiaries, estate assets or the actions of an executor. If a dispute arises, obtaining appropriate legal advice can help you understand your options and the next steps.
When is full estate administration required?
Obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration is not necessarily the same as completing the administration of an estate. Full estate administration may involve identifying and collecting assets, dealing with liabilities, addressing tax matters and distributing the estate. The work required depends on the circumstances of each estate.
