Estate Administration

Estate administration is the process of dealing with a deceased’s assets and liabilities and distributing the estate to beneficiaries. Administering a deceased estate can be an overwhelming and complicated process. A person appointed as an Executor in a Will has extensive duties and obligations ensuring an estate is properly administered.

We understand it is a difficult time for family and friends when a loved one passes away. We provide Executors with clear and concise information regarding their obligations and the process.

We also assist beneficiaries who require legal advice about their entitlements as a beneficiary of an estate. The administration process can also be stressful for beneficiaries, particularly where there has been some breakdown in the family unit.
