common Questions About Probate
How long does the probate process take in NSW?
The probate process typically takes 4–8 weeks from the time of filing, provided all documents are complete and uncontested.
What happens if there is no will?
If the deceased did not leave a will, the estate is managed under NSW intestacy laws. You’ll need to apply for Letters of Administration instead of probate.
Who can apply for probate?
The executor named in the will is responsible for applying for probate. If no executor is named, beneficiaries may need to seek legal advice on how to proceed.

From the initial consultation to the final signing of our Wills and related documents, the service provided by Markus was professional, organised and accommodating. Markus is very knowledgeable, supportive and has excellent communication skills. He explained every detail thoroughly and answered questions clearly.
