DECEASED ESTATES
An executor will begin the process of finalising the
Deceased Estate after a death certificate issues from the
Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages. The death certificate
will usually issue to the Funeral Director engaged by the family
or friends and it will often issue approximately four to six
weeks after death.
A legal process must be followed to
finalise Deceased Estates. There are many legal issues to
consider and the process can be lengthy and challenging. For
example, should Probate be obtained in the circumstances. There
can be serious and detrimental consequences to both the Executor
and Beneficiaries in not undertaking this process in certain
circumstances, but it is equally true that this process is not
always necessary. Each situation is different and demands a
different process.
GM Lawyers is able to manage this
process and provide comprehensive advice on the issues that need
to be considered and the steps that need to be undertaken, in
order to adequately finalise the deceased’s affairs .
