Probate

Bayside Wills and Estates has over two decades’ of experience in the administration and distribution of deceased estates in Melbourne. Our professional team can provide you with valuable assistance at every stage of the process, from the application for probate through to the distribution of assets.

The state of Victoria requires the executor of a will to obtain a grant of probate from the Probate Office of the Supreme Court; a process that’s difficult to navigate without professional legal guidance. Bayside Wills and Estates prides itself on assisting and advising executors in the application and granting of probate in Victoria, including dealing with overseas wills in Australia.

After a grant of probate, the executor is able to distribute assets to the beneficiaries, in accordance with the will. This distribution of assets can be especially troublesome for the executor, especially when dealing with large amounts of money and assets. Bayside Wills and Estates is here to guide and assist executors after probate has been granted, to ensure an efficient distribution process.

If no authentic will can be found, the team at Bayside Wills and Estates is also able to assist family members with letters of administration. This allows the next of kin to become the appointed administrator of the estate by the Court in order to distribute the assets of the estate.

Given the legal procedures involved in probate and estate administration, Bayside Wills and Estates is happy to assist with any steps of the process. Visit Bayside Wills and Estates’ contact page, or call to speak to our staff today.
