Deceased Estate LAWYERS
Dealing with the death of a loved one is a challenging and emotional experience. Managing the probate process and asset distribution can add significant stress to an already difficult time. At Shane McClure, our experienced deceased estate lawyers are here to help.
With years of experience in this area of law, we understand the complexity and sensitivity of managing deceased estates. Our compassionate and professional approach is designed to make the process as stress-free and smooth as possible for our clients.
Our deceased estate services include:
Our team can provide assistance with probate applications for deceased estates.
A Grant of Probate is a legal document issued by the Supreme Court of Victoria that verifies the last Will of the deceased and provides the named Executors with the authority to manage all the assets owned by the deceased at the time of their death.
Our team can provide assistance with Applications for Letters of Administration in the event that there is no will or the will is deemed invalid.
When a person dies without a Will, the Supreme Court of Victoria can issue an order known as Letters of Administration. This order grants authority to the person with the greatest interest in the deceased’s estate to manage and distribute their assets.
