At GHL, we offer comprehensive estate administration services, ensuring that the wishes of the deceased are carried out efficiently and with minimal stress to the family. Whether the estate requires probate or letters of administration, our experienced team can guide you through the entire process with care and professionalism.
Probate
Probate is the legal process that confirms the validity of a will and grants authority to the named executor to administer the estate. As the executor, you will be responsible for distributing the estate’s assets according to the will, settling any debts, and ensuring that the legal obligations of the estate are met. This process can be complex, especially if disputes arise.
We understand that the probate process can be overwhelming, particularly while dealing with the loss of a loved one. Our team provides step-by-step support to ensure that all legal requirements are fulfilled, and the estate is administered as efficiently as possible.
Letters of Administration
In cases where the deceased did not leave a valid will, or the named executor is unable or unwilling to act, an application for Letters of Administration may be required. This legal process allows a person, usually a close family member, to be appointed by the court to manage the estate.
Handling an estate without a will can be more complicated due to formal Supreme Court requirements and the rules of intestacy, which dictate how assets are divided. GHL ensures that this process is handled with precision and sensitivity, guiding administrators through their duties and ensuring compliance with the law.
Daniel Stephenson and Riley Fotopoulos can help guide you through these processes to take the administrative burden off you during these distressing times.
