This fee covers the full process of obtaining your instructions, providing legal advice, and preparing your application. It also includes lodging the required advertisement (not applicable in WA), the witnessing of application documents, submitting the application to the Court, and liaising with the Court. Once the process is complete, we will provide you with the grant of probate or letters of administration.
The Court filing fee is separate to our professional fee.
Each Supreme Court has a different advertising system and fee for grant of probate applications. The fee ranges from $35.90 in Victoria, $0.00 in WA, $161.70 in Queensland, and $55 in NSW.
We can assist with the administration of deceased estates. This includes closure of bank accounts, transfers and sale of shareholdings, and distributions to beneficiaries. This does not include resolving any estate disputes or transfers of real estate.
We are able to prepare a wide range of Wills for the everyday Australian, and for individuals and couples who require the use of testamentary trusts in their estate planning. We can also prepare Enduring Powers of Attorney, and Appointments of Medical Treatment Decision Maker. Please note that a package fee can be applied if you would like to have more than one Will, or add a Power of Attorney, for example.
This is our professional charge for obtaining your instructions, providing you with legal advice, preparing your new Will, witnessing your new Will, providing you with a copy of your signed Will, and secure storage of your original signed Will in our deeds registry.

Applications for Reseals of Grants obtained interstate or overseas, which need to be "sealed" in a state or territory in Australia. We can assist with these applications, and will require the original Grant from overseas/interstate to be sent to our office.

If you have already obtained a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, and need help transmitting real estate to the Executor or Administrator, we can complete this transaction for you. You will need to have the original Certificate of Title, or know of its whereabouts (with the bank, for example). This step does not convey legal ownership of the property, but will allow you to sell the property from the deceased estate.
This is our professional charge for obtaining your instructions, providing you with legal advice, preparing the documentation required for the Transmission, liaising with the mortgagor (if applicable), attending to the electronic conveyancing on PEXA, notifying the local council and water authority as to the transmission once complete, and completing the SRO Commencement of Estate Administration Form on your behalf.
We have partnered with Australia Post to have this mandatory process simplified and streamlined. This fee is payable to Australia Post and provides you and our office with a formal verification of your identity, which is needed for all property transactions in Victoria.
Please note that there are fees levied by the Victorian Land Titles Office and the PEXA electronic conveyancing network for each Transmission. These fees are paid by our office on your behalf, and then invoiced to you once the Transmission is complete. These fees are usually less than $500.00.
Please note that all of the legal fees and disbursements payable by you, once you are engaged as our client, will be set out in our costs agreement and disclosure statement. This information is indicative but not tailored to your specific circumstances.
