Credentials
Young & Young have 50 years experience in all matters relating to deceased estates.
We are experienced in making all types of probate and administration applications, and also in making and defending court applications to vary wills.
Challenging wills has become very common, but luckily many of these issues can be resolved by mediation rather than extremely expensive and family destructive Supreme Court litigation.
We give free 20 minute consultations in these matters which can be a useful guide to you as to what your legal position is, and whether you need further legal advice.
Feel free to telephone us and request a free 20 minute consultation.
Why Grant of Probate | Letters of Administration?
When someone dies leaving a Will, its executor must get in the deceased's property, file tax returns, pay debts, and then distribute net assets to beneficiaries.
These dutiful tasks can only be accomplished after a Probate Court validates the Will by a Grant of Probate, permitting the executor to proceed with impunity.
When there is no Will, the Probate Court grants Letters of Administration, appointing an "administrator" to the Estate.
Administrators and executors are trustees with identical responsibilities, and are the personal legal representative of their deceased Estate. But because there's no will and therefore no beneficiaries, administrators are entrusted to distribute an Estate's net assets to stipulated persons in accordance with inheritance laws.
Each is answerable to the Probate Court, and both may be required to file verified accounts.
This website is dedicated to helping you find a Probate Lawyer located near you to assist executors and close relatives of deceased persons with these complex legal responsilbities.
Most of our Probate Lawyers offer free legal advice on first telephone contact.
