Deceased Estates

Providing clear and compassionate guidance through every stage of the deceased estate process.

Deceased Estates

A deceased estate is created when a person passes away and includes all assets held in their sole name that have monetary value.

This may include property, bank accounts, investments, personal belongings, and other assets.

What is often less understood is that a deceased estate can also include outstanding debts and liabilities. These obligations do not disappear on death and must usually be dealt with before the estate can be distributed to beneficiaries.

Managing a deceased estate can be complex and emotionally challenging. While dealing with the loss of a loved one, families and executors are often required to navigate legal processes, documentation, and time-sensitive decisions.

How we can help

We assist clients across Geelong and regional Victoria with:

Obtaining Probate where a valid Will exists

Applying for Letters of Administration where no Will is in place

Administering estates and ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with legal requirements

Assisting executors to carry out their duties efficiently and correctly

Advising beneficiaries on their rights and entitlements
