Deceased Estate: Two Types of
Legal Handling in Melbourne
There are two ways of handling a deceased estate in Melbourne. One is through
probate, and the other is when there is no will (intestacy). The former means the
departed person has left a will and would need a Grant of Probate. This document
authorises the executor(s) to manage the deceased person’s estate and assets.
Moreover, this process may require the transfer of real estate and involve bank
money amounting to over $50,000.
On the other hand, a Grant of Letters of Administration should be applied when a
person passes away without a will. This grant type requires a spouse, a de facto
partner, or children to apply. This person then needs to prove to the court who
should be the rightful beneficiaries. Whichever situation you are in, our lawyers will
offer their service to achieve your goal while honouring the deceased.
How to Manage a Deceased Estate
in Melbourne
If the case turns out to be a little less complicated, then you still need to manage
the deceased estate in Melbourne as soon as possible. However, it may seem too
confusing, and you may be unsure of where to start. Here is some guidance to help
you;
Funeral Service
The first step is organising the funeral service according to the will. You have to reach
out to the family and friends of the deceased to let them know of the death.
Moreover, you will also need to inform organisations such as banks, the government,
insurance companies, utility companies and superannuation providers.
Review Estate and Other Assets
You have to make a list of all the properties and assets of the deceased. If combined
assets reach over $50,000, you may need to seek a Grant from the Supreme Court to
deal with the estate assets.
Pay Debts
When you finish reviewing the estate and other assets, determine if the deceased
has any unpaid debts and settle them.
Distribute the Assets
When everything is settled, divide the assets between the beneficiaries as per the
Will or in accordance with the rules of intestacy.
You don’t have to handle this stress
and grieve at the same time. Reach
out for our support, and we will help
you manage the deceased
estate in Melbourne.
