Losing a loved one is never easy, and managing the legal complexities of their estate can be overwhelming. At Matti Lamb & Associates, our experienced probate lawyers Adelaide provide compassionate and practical legal guidance to help you navigate the probate process with confidence. Whether you need assistance obtaining a grant of probate, administering an estate, or handling a contested will, we are here to support you every step of the way.
What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of validating a deceased person’s will and granting the executor the authority to manage the estate. If there is no will, the process involves applying for letters of administration to distribute the estate according to South Australian law. Our team at Matti Lamb & Associates helps ensure that this process is as seamless and stress-free as possible for our clients.
Our Adelaide Probate Services
At Matti Lamb & Associates, we offer comprehensive probate and estate administration services, including:
Applying for a Grant of Probate
If you have been appointed as an executor in a will, you will need to apply for a grant of probate to administer the estate. We handle all the necessary legal paperwork to ensure a smooth application process.
Letters of Administration
When a person passes away without a valid will, their estate must be administered according to intestacy laws. We assist next of kin in applying for letters of administration to ensure the estate is distributed appropriately.
Estate Administration
Our probate lawyers help executors and administrators manage the estate efficiently, including collecting assets, paying debts, and distributing inheritances to beneficiaries.
Contested Wills and Estate Disputes
If you are facing a dispute over a will or believe you have been unfairly excluded from an estate, we provide expert legal advice and representation in contested probate matters.
Superannuation and Death Benefits
Superannuation does not automatically form part of an estate. We assist beneficiaries in claiming superannuation death benefits and ensuring they are distributed in line with the deceased’s wishes.
