Role of Executor
Probate
The loss of a loved one
Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult moments, filled with intense emotions and challenges. In addition to your grief, you may need to organise a meaningful farewell or celebration of life and address the affairs of your loved one. We are here to assist you and guide you through each step of this process.
GRANT OF PROBATE
For many, the loss of a loved one and the subsequent management of their assets can be a daunting experience. Navigating the complexities of obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration often introduces legal terms such as “Probate” and “Deceased Estates,” which can be overwhelming.
We are here to help you understand this process by demystifying these terms and clearly explaining the legal procedures involved. Whether dealing with your loved one’s Will or guiding you through the process in the absence of a Will, we provide the support and advice you need to ensure a smooth distribution of assets.

What does a probate lawyer do?
A probate lawyer guides executors through obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, prepares and lodges all court documentation, liaises with banks, accountants and superannuation funds, and prepares the final account to beneficiaries.

Madison Sloan Lawyers offers fixed fee probate packages so you always know your costs upfront.
An initial consultation is $550 + GST.
Our packages start from $4,400 + GST and Disbursements depending on the complexity of the estate.
What is estate administration?
Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing a deceased person’s assets after a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration has been obtained. This includes calling in assets, paying debts, liaising with financial institutions, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries in accordance with the Will.
