Getting a grant of probate in South Australia

When you are entrusted to deal with the estate of a deceased loved one, it can feel overwhelming. We are here to guide you through this time with compassion, clarity and certainty.

A ‘Grant of Probate’ is the official recognition by the Supreme Court that a Will is legally valid. You may need to get a ‘Grant of Probate’ before you can legally deal with any assets under a deceased person’s Will.

Our caring and competent lawyers can assist you by providing fixed price services, including our:

  • Probate Check – you may not need to go through the expense of probate;
  • DIY Probate Review – you do the work and we do the checking – saving you plenty; and

Probate Check

We can help you to determine if you need probate, and what will be involved given the terms of the Will and the assets of the deceased.

DIY Probate Review

If you’ve already determined that you need a Grant of Probate, and you want to have a go at preparing the Probate Application yourself, we can help you with a DIY Probate Review for a fixed price.
