In Victoria, the person administering a deceased estate is often required to obtain a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.
This grant allows a person to deal with the assets and liabilities of an estate, and will normally be required in circumstances where funds are deposited with a bank or real estate is to be dealt with.
Each estate is different, so it’s a good idea to seek legal advice about your position before deciding whether it is necessary for you to obtain a grant. At Russo & Russo we welcome your inquiries.
In Victoria, you have the right to challenge a Will where a deceased person has not met his or her responsibility to provide for you.
