Probate Lawyers Watsons Creek

De Maria & Associates

We offer assistance to Executors or Administrators in applying to the Supreme Court of Victoria for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, and in the estate distribution process, adhering to the terms of the deceased’s Will.

“Probate” is a document that the Supreme Court of Victoria provides to validate a Will before an Executor can begin the process of calling in the assets of the deceased.

“Letters of Administration” is a corresponding process employed when no Will is present. In such cases, the next of kin is entrusted with the administration of the estate, and the collection and distribution of assets in compliance with legislation.

Our team at De Maria & Associates can provide skilled advice and direction in a process that may be daunting and intricate, depending on the nature and magnitude 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.

Estate Disputes Near Watsons Creek

Sadly, when someone close to you passes away it is a difficult time. Inheritance disputes can make the situation even more difficult.

There are many reasons why estates are disputed after a loved one has passed. Some reasons are the validity of a Will, being left out of a Will, challenging a Will, the mental capacity of the Will maker at the time the Will was signed or the Will was not executed properly at the time.

If you feel you’ve been unjustly omitted from a Will, or if you think your portion of the estate is not adequate, our team can help you challenge or contest the Will to achieve a fair resolution (limitations may apply).
