Estate Administration
Providing trusted legal advice for more than 150 years.
Losing a loved one is never easy, and dealing with the legal and financial matters they leave behind can feel overwhelming. Estate administration involves managing and distributing a person’s assets after their passing, ensuring their wishes are carried out while handling any legal complexities that may arise. Our dedicated team is here to provide guidance, support, and expertise, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you and your family.
Estate Administration
To lose a loved one is difficult. Sorting out their affairs at a time of grief can be challenging, confusing, and stressful. Our empathetic team of experienced experts take the burden away by simplifying the process as far as possible, advising you on the practical things you can do, attending to the legal aspects and navigating you carefully through any complex issues.
Although estate administration normally runs smoothly, it is not always simple. Claims challenging the Will can be brought under the Property (Relationship) Act, the Family Protection Act, and the Law Reform (Testamentary Promises) Act. Complexities can arise where there are businesses, companies and family trusts to deal with as part of the estate wind-up. Rest assured; we know what to do.
We help with:
- Advice
- Obtaining Probate of the Will
- Obtaining Letters of Administration where there is no Will
- Collecting, preserving, and selling estate assets
- Paying debts, administration expenses, and tax
- Keeping records and accounts
- Distributing estate assets to beneficiaries
