Estate administration

Overwhelmed by estate admin? We’re here to share the load.

We dealt with Sean at Curae Law arranging probate for a friend. Really easy to deal with and explained everything. Most of the work was done via email with a meeting at the end to sign all the documents. It is possible to do all this yourself though the WA Supreme Court but it is just too easy to make mistakes. The fees charged by Curae Law for completing all the paperwork and submitting the documents to the court were very reasonable. We would have no problems dealing with them again if we ever need to.
