I recently settled my Dads estate and Qld Probate handled the probate for us and the it was handled with ease. The price was also a lot less than I was quoted at other law firms. Patti and Pei were amazing. Highly recommend.
- Carol J.
Queensland Probate were wonderful to deal with, the whole process was made extremely easy at such a difficult time. We had great communication from Pei and we appreciate all the efforts and the service we received from Queensland Probate.
- Belinda B.
Very recently we had to deal with the whole probate process which initially was quite daunting, I found Queensland Probate on google. The cost was fabulously reasonable for what we needed and communication with them was easy, prompt responses and very polite and compassionate as well as very professional.

Probate is the legal process of the Supreme Court of Queensland recognising the last will and testament of the deceased and recognising the power of the executor to deal with the assets of the deceased. This process typically takes place prior to the administration of the estate of a deceased person, ensuring their assets are distributed according to their wishes or Queensland law. You typically need probate if the deceased owned assets in Queensland in their name. It provides a formal way to validate the will, pay debts, and transfer assets to beneficiaries and generally deal with the assets of the estate.
WHY PROBATE MATTERS:
Validation of the authenticity of deceased's last will by the Supreme Court of Queensland
Recognises the authority of the executor to deal with the assets of the deceased
Ensures the executor is legally protected when the assets of the estate are distributed
HOW WE CAN HELP:
Guidance through the probate process
Legal expertise and support
Provide a smooth and efficient administration of the estate
Help to minimise the length of the probate process

An initial consultation with a lawyer
Nominating the appropriate person to be granted the Letters of Administration

Probate is a legal process that confirms the validity of a deceased person's will and grants the executor the authority to administer the estate. It is needed to manage and distribute the deceased's assets according to their will.
Probate is usually applied for by the executor named in the will.
To apply for probate, you will need the original will, the death certificate, a completed probate application form, and an affidavit of the executor.
The time frame can vary, but it typically takes between 4 to 8 weeks from the date of application, assuming there are no complications or objections.
Costs can include court filing fees, legal fees if a solicitor is engaged, and potential costs for obtaining valuations of the estate’s assets. The Supreme Court of Queensland provides a fee schedule for reference.
Yes, individuals can apply without a solicitor, but the process can be complex and time-consuming. Many choose to engage a solicitor to ensure the application is correctly prepared and submitted.
Disputes can delay the process and may require mediation or court intervention. Common disputes include challenges to the validity of the will, claims of inadequate provision, or disagreements about the distribution of assets.
As an executor, you are responsible for collecting and valuing the deceased’s assets, paying any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries according to the will.
Not all estates require probate. It depends on the type and value of the assets. For example, small estates or assets held jointly may not require formal administration.
