Losing a loved one is never easy, and handling their estate can feel overwhelming. SKC Lawyers practice in estate administration, guiding executors and administrators through the legal complexities of managing a deceased person’s assets. Our experienced estate litigation lawyers ensure compliance with Queensland law, minimise legal risks and simplify the estate finalisation process. Whether you need help applying for Letters of Administration or dealing with disputes, we provide professional legal support every step of the way.
Probate and Letters of Administration
Before an estate can be managed, legal authority must be obtained. If the deceased left a valid will, the executor must apply for Probate to confirm their authority to administer the estate. If no will exists, an administrator must seek Letters of Administration from the Supreme Court of Queensland. SKC Lawyers assists in preparing and lodging applications, ensuring all legal requirements are met to prevent delays or rejections.
Estate Management
Administering an estate involves more than just distributing assets. As an executor of estate, you must collect and safeguard the deceased’s assets, pay outstanding debts, and ensure tax compliance. Our team at SKC Lawyers provides clear guidance to executors and administrators, ensuring all financial and legal obligations are properly handled. We work diligently to prevent errors that could lead to legal consequences or personal liability.
Estate Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Estate disputes can arise over the validity of a will, asset distribution, or executor misconduct. As experienced estate litigation lawyers, SKC Lawyers represents clients in contested estate matters, helping resolve disputes through negotiation or court proceedings. Whether you are defending a will, challenging unfair distributions, or addressing executor disputes, our legal team provides strategic support to protect your interests.
Executor’s Responsibilities and Liabilities
Being an executor of estate comes with significant legal and financial responsibilities. Executors must act in the best interests of beneficiaries while ensuring the estate is administered lawfully. Mistakes in estate management can lead to personal liability. SKC Lawyers advises executors on their legal obligations, helping them navigate their role with confidence and avoid potential legal pitfalls.
