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.

The application process
Get started online here, call our warm and welcoming team on (08) 9220 4490 or email .
We’ll help you figure out the best path forward. To start, we’ll just need:
- Your full name
- The full name of the person who has passed
- A quick summary of the situation (if you’re unsure what service you need)
We’ll send you a checklist to help gather the documents and information we need – things like the Will, death certificate, asset details, and contact information for executors or beneficiaries.
You can even get a head start by downloading our checklists for Probate and Letters of Administration.
Once we’ve received your completed checklist, we’ll confirm your fixed-fee quote and send you our Costs Agreement.
Our team gets to work. Within five business days of payment, we’ll have your application drafted and ready for your review.
When the paperwork is good to go, we’ll book in a meeting with one of our lawyers to have your documents signed and witnessed.
We lodge your application with the Supreme Court of WA. From there, it usually takes 4–6 weeks for your Grant to be issued.
Once your Grant is ready, we’ll let you know. You can collect it or we’ll send the original to you by post.
We can also help you with estate administration, property transfers and more.
