What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of validating a deceased person’s will and authorising an executor to administer the estate. In NSW, probate is often required to access assets like property, bank accounts, and superannuation.
When is Probate Needed in NSW?
- If the deceased owned property solely in their name.
- If financial institutions require a Grant of Probate to release funds.
- If the estate includes significant assets or complex arrangements.
