Do I need a Probate lawyer or solicitor if I use Probate Sydney?
You do not need a lawyer or solicitor to assist you to obtain Probate if you instruct Probate Sydney.
This is because Probate applications handled by Probate Sydney are carried out by qualified Probate lawyers and solicitors of our very own. From commencement each estate is allocated to one of our qualified Probate Sydney Probate lawyers / solicitors who prepares all the documentation and organising the publication of the various required notices in the newspaper.
Once engaged we commence the application by arranging for notice of the intended application for Probate to be published in the newspaper. We then draft all the required Court papers and meet with you at one of our 10 Sydney locations to sign the application. Following this meeting, we lodge the application with the Supreme Court of NSW and notify you once the Grant of Probate has returned. Finally, upon receiving the Grant of Probate in NSW we organise for a further notice to be published in the newspaper in order to protect you from any claims of creditors.
If the Will is being held by a firm of lawyers or solicitors Probate Sydney arrange for the collection and safe keeping of the original Will, so there is no requirement to instruct the firm holding the Will or the deceased’s lawyer or solicitor to prepare the application.
