Estate & Life Planning
Estate planning or making a will can be a daunting process. It is important to have a will at every stage of one’s life. Asquith Legal can help you to make a will or a comprehensive estate plan.
Probate Law
A grant of probate is a document issued by the Supreme Court that gives the executor named in the will the right to deal with the assets of the deceased according to the terms of the will.
Estate Administration
The person who will be or is already appointed as executor or administrator must also administer the state. A simple estate administration generally involves the tasks of locating the assets of the deceased, converting these assets into cash or transferring property into the name of beneficiaries, paying the deceased’s liabilities and tax, and distributing the remainder.
International Estates
A large part of the Australian population were born overseas or have parents who were born overseas. Often a connection to the country of origin is maintained by keeping or purchasing property in that country.
Disputed Estates
