Isabelle Marcarian Probate & Estate Administration Lawyer, Safewill Legal

In the Sydney, Probate is generally required if the deceased owned land or property, had bank accounts over a certain value (which varies between banks) or had other high-value assets like shares or superannuation to be paid to the estate. Our Wills and estate experts can help you determine if you need Probate.

To obtain a grant of Probate in Sydney, you need need to get the death certificate, find the Will, lodge an online Notice of Intended Application with the NSW Supreme Court, wait 14 days in case anyone notifies you of a claim, prepare and mail your application and receive the grant in the mail. After this, you generally need to wait 6–12 months to distribute the estate.

In the Sydney, you can get Probate for a one-off fee of $699 for Safewill Legal’s assisted service, or $1,799 for our fully managed service, where we take care of everything from start to finish.
