Deceased Estates

If you are the executor or next of kin for someone who has passed away, you may need to apply for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration to manage the estate left behind. Administering an estate can be a complicated matter, particularly where the estate is large, the Will is complex, or there are difficult family dynamics, and so we believe it is important to get expert advice early.

At AB Morison Law we have the experience and expertise to assist you, whether you are making a simple Probate Application or are dealing with a lost Will, an informal Will, an intestacy (where there is no Will), or other more complex scenarios.

Once the Grant has been made, we help you understand the process of administering the estate. There are particular timeframes and obligations that apply throughout the administration of an estate, and it is important for your protection that you are aware of them. We are also seeing an increasing number of estates where money must be held on Trust for children until they become adults, and we can advise you on how this should be managed.

We understand that it can be overwhelming knowing where to start, so from the beginning we take the time to understand your circumstances and explain your options and responsibilities to you in plain English. We will strive to make your experience as easy and seamless as possible, providing you with outstanding professional care and expert advice throughout the entire process.
