Estate Administration

Are you the executor of a will and don’t know what to do next?

Administering an estate is a complex and demanding task and executors should not take their duties lightly. Estate administration involves not only the correct interpretation of the Will, but also an understanding of the succession and tax rules that must be complied with, to avoid being personally liable for costs incurred in the estate. We also understand that the administration of estates involves not only legal questions, but also an understanding of how families work, and what people go through in a time of grief and upheaval. The Williams Graham Carman Solicitors team aims to make the estate administration process as smooth as possible for the executor. Our team has successfully administered many estates within a variety of different family and business situations and has experience in:

  • Application for grant of probate and letters of administration on intestacy (where a person dies without a valid will)
  • Ascertaining all assets and liabilities of the estate
  • Correct distribution of the entire estate
  • Correct payment of estate debts
  • Resolving problems if they arise in relation to the administration of the estate
  • How to proceed if there is no Will
  • Interpretation of the Will
  • Location of the original Will
  • Taxation advice

We understand that wills and probate is a complex area, and sometimes it's hard to know where to start. As such, at Williams Graham Carman, if you have an estate administration query or estate dispute you need help with, we will usually offer a free, no obligation half hour consultation. We find that this can help straighten out some of the issues you might be dealing with and help determine whether or not you need a lawyer involved at all. Contact our estates paralegal Alison Fisher on (07) 4046 1111 to find out more.
