Probate and Letters of Administration

Probate and letters of administration confirm the legal authority to manage and distribute an Estate. At MMLaw, we guide executors and families through the process with clarity and care.

Probate

Confirming your loved one's final wishes

Probate is the Court’s official recognition of a Will as valid, giving the executor authority to administer the Estate. We guide executors through the process, ensuring the Will is carried out properly and efficiently.

Estate management without a Will

When a person dies without a valid Will, the Court issues Letters of Administration to appoint someone to manage the Estate. We assist families with this process, helping to ensure assets are distributed according to the law.

Guiding you through the Probate process with care and clarity.

Losing a loved one is never easy, and dealing with legal processes can feel overwhelming. At MMLaw, we provide compassionate support and practical guidance to help executors and families navigate probate with confidence.

Probate is a court-issued document that confirms a Will is valid and gives the named executor the authority to manage the deceased’s Estate. Once granted, probate allows the executor to collect assets, pay debts, and distribute the estate in line with the Will.

What is Probate?

Not every Estate needs Probate.

In some cases, probate may not be necessary: for example, if the Estate is small or assets are jointly owned. However, many banks, financial institutions, and government agencies require probate before releasing funds or transferring property. We’ll assess your situation and advise whether probate is required.

Letters of Administration

When a loved one passes without a valid Will, letters of administration give a family member the authority to manage the Estate. At MMLaw, we guide you through the process with clarity, care, and experience.

Support when there's no Will in place.

When someone dies without leaving a valid Will, their Estate cannot be administered without legal authority. At MMLaw, we provide compassionate guidance to help families apply for Letters of Administration and manage their loved one’s affairs with confidence.

Letters of Administration are granted by the Supreme Court of Queensland and give a person (usually the next of kin) the legal authority to collect assets, pay debts, and distribute the Estate according to the rules of intestacy.
