Probate and Administration of Estates

When someone dies, it is usually left to the close friends and family to deal with the person's estate. This is not always easy at what is an emotionally difficult time, but there are certain matters that need to be addressed immediately. We have significant experience in this area and can guide our clients through the complex process of administering an estate, practically and sensitively.

Our services include ensuring all the legal obligations and terms of the will are met (or law of intestacy if there is no will). We can also help with: protecting property interests where necessary; dealing with all the taxation issues; advising on tax mitigation strategies; collecting in and distributing assets; and advising on specific, more complicated assets such as heritage property or royalties.
