Administration of Estates
Overview
The administration of an estate can be a challenging task that often involves a range of complicated financial and legal matters. Depending on the complexity of the estate, there may be a need to deal with banks, insurance companies, superannuation trustees, business associates or other domestic and foreign agencies. It is beneficial to have a lawyer guide you through the process and assist in negotiating sensitive family matters.
Family members and beneficiaries may also benefit from seeking legal advice regarding their rights and obligations to the estate and arising from a will, including where they believe the division of assets has been unfair.
