Probate Lawyers Diamond Creek

De Maria & Associates

De Maria & Associates offer Probate and Deceased Estate services in the Northern Suburbs including Doreen, Mill Park, Whittlesea, Bundoora, Diamond Creek, Wollert, Hurstbridge, South Morang, Yarrambat, Nutfield, Mernda, Yan Yean, Arthurs Creek and Epping. Our experts are able to support Executors or Administrators in submitting an application to the Supreme Court of Victoria for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, and the subsequent distribution of the Estate as per the deceased’s Will. The Supreme Court of Victoria offers “Probate,” a document that verifies a Will, empowering the Executor to start the process of collecting the deceased’s assets. If there’s no Will, “Letters of Administration” is a parallel process, where the next of kin is assigned to manage the estate, and to gather and disperse the estate’s assets following the law. De Maria & Associates stands ready to offer professional guidance and support in this potentially complex and taxing process, which depends on the nature and scope of the deceased’s estate.

Estate Disputes Near Diamond Creek

The passing of someone near to you can be a trying time. Inheritance disagreements can amplify the difficulty of the situation.

Disputes over estates can occur after a loved one’s passing for several reasons. These may include questioning the legality of a Will, being left out of a Will, challenging a Will, the mental ability of the Will’s creator at the time of signing, or the Will not being properly executed.

If you have been left out of a Will or you believe your share of the estate is inadequate, our firm can assist you in challenging or contesting the Will to obtain you a fair settlement (limitation may apply).
