Probate Lawyer Wollongong
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. This power is often needed to close bank accounts or to sell shares or property. Without a probate a house or apartment of a deceased person cannot be sold.
What is a Grant of Probate?
Grants of probate may be in solemn or common form:
Common form grants are much more common and are the relevant choice where there is a valid will and no contest as to its application.
Solemn form grants are contested grants or grants where an applicant envisages that there may in the future be a contest or where there are doubts as to the validity of a will.
