deceased estates

A deceased estate includes everything a person leaves behind when they pass away — such as property, bank accounts, superannuation, investments, personal belongings, and any outstanding debts. We help families understand and manage the estate so nothing is overlooked and all responsibilities are handled correctly.

The Executor named in the Will, or an Administrator if there’s no Will, is responsible for managing the estate. We guide Executors and Administrators through every step, ensuring legal requirements are met and easing the stress of managing someone else’s affairs.

Managing an estate includes:

• Identifying and securing assets
• Paying outstanding debts and taxes
• Collecting money owed to the estate
• Distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries

We take care of these tasks efficiently, helping you avoid mistakes and unnecessary delays.

If someone dies without a Will (intestate), the estate is distributed according to state laws. This can be complicated and stressful. We assist families in navigating the intestacy process, ensuring assets are distributed fairly and according to the law.

Yes. Conflicts can occur over who inherits, missing assets, or how the estate is managed. Our team provides guidance, support, and practical solutions to help resolve disputes quickly and professionally.

The timeframe depends on the complexity of the estate. Smaller estates may take a few months, while larger or contested estates may take longer.

We work with you to streamline the process and provide clear updates along the way.

While there’s no inheritance tax in Australia, the estate may need to pay income tax, capital gains tax, or other obligations before assets are distributed.

We handle these requirements, making sure everything is compliant and reducing the burden on you.

Managing a deceased estate can be overwhelming, especially during a difficult time. Our team:

• Provides clear guidance at every step
• Handles legal, financial, and administrative tasks efficiently
• Ensures assets are managed and distributed correctly

We take care of the process so you can focus on supporting your family.
