The executor and trustee are appointed in a Will.

When someone dies, there are various legal processes to be followed to finalise their financial affairs and ensure their estate is passed on to their relatives or nominated beneficiaries as per their wishes. If you have been appointed the executor and trustee under a Will, you now have legal obligations and responsibilities. You may well want advice on how to discharge those obligations and responsibilities.

A grant of probate is required.

A grant of probate is the legal process to approve a deceased’s Will in the Supreme Court of South Australia, allowing executors to manage the estate’s assets. We can help prepare and file the necessary documentation for this process. A grant of probate will be required if the deceased person had real estate or bank accounts with more than around $15,000 in them and owned those assets either in their own name alone, or jointly with another person who has died before them, if they have a refundable accommodation bond or if superannuation is payable to their estate.  However, a grant may not be required where all real estate and bank accounts are owned jointly with another person who has survived them.

When you need letters of administration.

When a person dies intestate, or the named executors are unavailable, letters of administration may be needed. If a Will is partially invalid or incomplete, an application for letters of administration with the Will annexed may be the answer. This process addresses any issues while preserving the deceased’s intentions. When the original Will is missing, but a copy is available, letters of administration are required. This ensures proper estate administration despite any deficiencies in the Will. The aim is to honour the deceased’s wishes while addressing legal gaps.
