The process of applying for probate is a technical and intricate process that often comes off as intimidating. After all, each step requires precision, down to the finest detail. Nyst Legal is a team of probate lawyers in Brisbane City whose expertise ensures you navigate these complexities confidently.

What is probate?

A probate proceeding is a formal legal process that validates a deceased person’s Will and results in a personal representative, or executor, being appointed by the Courts to manage the deceased’s estate. Probate grants the executor the legal authority to distribute assets as outlined in the Will.

If you have been appointed to act as the executor of a deceased estate pursuant to a Will, you will need to obtain a Probate order for the Court before distributing the estate. Alternatively, in circumstances where a loved one has died without a Will, someone will need to apply to the Court to administer the estate (i.e. Letters of Administration). In both cases, you will need a solicitor not only to guide you through the application process but also to advise you generally on your legal obligations as a representative of the deceased’s Estate.

Engaging the services of a Brisbane probate lawyer will ensure that you distribute the deceased estate, in the correct manner, efficiently, effectively, and in accordance with the law.

It is not uncommon for Executors and Administrators to bungle the probate process or face criticism or claims from family members and beneficiaries as a result of failing to distribute estate assets properly.  For that reason, the advice and assistance of a knowledgeable probate lawyer is imperative. Nyst Legal has the expertise for even the most complex deceased estate issues.
