FAQs
A Grant of Probate is a document issued by the Supreme Court of Western Australia confirming an executor’s authority to deal with the affairs of a deceased person.
It gives the executor authority to collect the assets and administer the estate according to the terms of the Will.
In most cases we can prepare your application and arrange for you to sign it on the spot at your consultation. It will then take the Supreme Court of Western Australia 6 – 8 weeks to review your application and issue a Grant.
If you are unable to find the original Will, you will need to produce evidence to satisfy the Court that the Willmaker did not destroy the Will with the intention to revoke it.
Book a consultation to get started.
As a general rule, the answer is yes – executors and administrators can charge their reasonable legal costs to the estate. What is reasonable depends on the circumstances, but would generally include the costs of making an application for Probate or Letters of Administration.
