Wills, Probate & Contested Estates

Rossi Simicic offers one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to obtain a will in the Wollongong area. We can assist you with:

  • Drafting & updating wills;
  • Applying for Probate;
  • Deceased estate claims / defending deceased estates ; and
  • Letters of Administration (in the event that a will is deemed invalid).

We always recommend keeping your will up to date as it makes distributing your estate far easier on your beneficiaries in what is already a hard enough time as it is.

Letters of Administration

In the some-what complicated event that a valid will has not been left, Rossi Simicic can assist you with applying for Letters of Administration to the Supreme Court of NSW. In these circumstances, there is legislation that details how an estate may be distributed and by whom. The Supreme Court can appoint an Administrator to distribute the estate under the Wills, Probate and Administration Act 1898.

The Family Provision Act 1982

If you expected to be a beneficiary of a will but have not been provided for, you may be eligible to claim against the distribution of any estate under the Family Provision Act 1982, pursuant to the Probate.

Probate

Rossi Simicic Lawyers can help you apply to the Supreme Court of NSW for Probate in instances where there is a valid will and you have been nominated as Executor of that will. The Supreme Court can then grant probate which authorises you to distribute the deceased estate in accordance with the provisions of the will.
