Probate Lawyers Humevale

De Maria & Associates

Probate Lawyers

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.

At De Maria & Associates we can provide professional guidance and advice in a process that can be difficult and complex depending on the nature and extent of the deceased’s estate.

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.
