Following the loss of a family member or close friend, you may be a potential beneficiary to the estate or appointed as an executor under their will. C J Boyd Solicitors can assist in navigating through the rights and responsibilities in administrating estates.
Our experience will be of value in:
- Helping executors handle the steps involved in their role such as identifying and realising the assets of the estate;
- Dealing with estates, where a valid will exists. An application for Probate to the Supreme Court of NSW is required to obtain authorisation to distribute the assets of an estate;
- Dealing with estates where a will was never signed, was not valid or cannot be found. An application for letters of administration to the Supreme Court of NSW is required in these situations;
- Advising under circumstances where a person believes they have an entitlement to the estate such as a Family Provision Act claim.
