Trusted help when you’re the one in charge.
If you’ve been named executor, we know it can feel overwhelming. Probate , paperwork, asset transfers – it’s a lot. But we do this every day, and we’re here to make it easy for you. From the grant right through to the final distribution, we’ll guide you through every step.
If a person dies without a Will their estate is governed by the laws of intestacy.
The first step is to obtain a Grant of Letters of Administration.
You’ll then need to collect the assets, pay liabilities and distribute the estate according to the formula established by law.

Our process
Contact our team on (08) 9220 4490 or email .
To help you choose which service is right for you, we’ll need:
- your full name;
- the full name of the deceased person;
- let us know which service you need, or if you’re unsure, please send us a brief summary of the circumstances.
We’ll send you a checklist setting out the information we need to prepare your application.
This includes:
- death certificate;
- Will (if any);
- information about the deceased person’s assets and liabilities at the date of their death;
- contact details for any executor;
- if there is no Will, contact details for all beneficairies of the estate.
Please complete the checklist and send it to us. We’ll review it, confirm our fixed-fee quote and send you our Costs Agreement.
If you want a head start, you can download our checklists for Probate and Letters of Administration.
If you’re unable to obtain sufficient information, please contact us to book an estate administration consultation.
Our team will prepare your application and send it to you to review. We aim to complete this within 5 business days of receiving your payment for our services.
Once your documents are ready, we’ll arrange a meeting with one of our lawyers to sign and witness your application.
We’ll file your application at the Supreme Court of Western Australia. The Court usually takes about 4-6 weeks to issue the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.
We’ll let you know when your Grant is ready for collection, or will send the original to you by mail.
We can also help you with estate administration, property transfers, or other legal advice you may need to help you finalise the estate.
