A “Probate” is a certificate by which the court officially recognises the validity of the will and the appointment of the executor named in the Will. It is obtained by a formal process of proving and registering the will with the Supreme Court.
When a Robbins Watson estate lawyer is engaged to assist in estate administration, we act to administer the estate as quickly as it may safely be done, while ensuring that the executor does not expose him or herself to risk of litigation by making distributions prior to the statutory periods for making of Family Maintenance claims.
Our estate lawyers look for safe, sensible solutions to the issues that arise, and ensure that, where you have to make a choice, you are given all your options, with our recommendation about which option is best for you.
Our commitment to streamlining our estate administration while maintaining a sense of personal service and understanding has seen us become the estate lawyers Gold Coast families choose to help them navigate this sometimes difficult and unsettling period.
Robbins Watson has been consistently identified and voted by our peers to be one of Queensland’s leading Succession Law Firms. In 2022, we were ranked as a leading law firm in the prestigious Doyle’s guide in two categories, being Wills & Estates Litigation and Estate Planning.
