Grant of Probate & Letters of Administration

Our basic probate and letters of administration services starts at $990 (inclusive of GST) plus outlays for one executor/applicant. This assumes the application is uncomplicated and uncontested. In addition to our professional fees (for an application in Queensland) is the application fee of $766.80 payable separately to the court. For eligible concession card holders, this fee is $139.90. Additionally, a fee of $161.70 applies for advertising the notice of intention to apply which starts the process. Unfortunately, not all applications are straightforward. In this case, we’ll take a look at your situation and provide an obligation free quote based on your individual circumstances.

This depends on your circumstances as well as the workload of the court. We normally advise to expect that the process will take 2-3 months from receiving your instructions to receiving the grant of probate/letters of administration, but it could also be more or less than this depending on your case. There are minimum time requirements surrounding advertising and notifying the public trustee that must be complied with before the application can be lodged with the Supreme Court.

Start by getting in touch using one of the options below. Once we have enough information about you and the services you require we’ll prepare a quote and client agreement. Once this is accepted by you we’ll start preparing the application documents and arrange for the application to be advertised and the process to commence.
