Probate Gymea

Managing a loved one’s estate after their passing can be challenging, particularly when legal processes are involved. Probate Gymea services from Guidance Law assist executors in navigating the legal requirements required to administer an estate.

Probate is the legal process where the executor named in a Will applies to the Supreme Court to confirm that the will meets legislative formalities and that they are authorised to administer the deceased person’s estate. This process ensures that the Will meets legal requirements and is recognised as the most recent valid document.

Because probate involves formal court procedures and strict documentation requirements, professional legal advice can help ensure the application is prepared accurately and efficiently.

Areas of Practice

Guidance Law provides services specifically in the area of Wills & Estates and Property to ensure you receive a high level of expertise every time you engage our services.
Wills
It is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the appointment of an executor and distribution of your estate (i.e. your assets such as your house, car, bank account, etc, and your liabilities.) after your passing. There are complex laws which govern the construction of Wills. You should always seek legal advice when making your Will to ensure the terms of your Will are valid and operable.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document in which you appoint a trusted individual, known as your attorney, to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf. It is important to seek legal advice to ensure your power of attorney is structured to assist with preventing elder abuse if you lose capacity.
Appointment of Enduring Guardian
An appointment of enduring guardian is a legal document where you appoint a trusted individual, known as your guardian, to make health and lifestyle decisions on your behalf. An enduring guardian document ensures your wishes are followed if you are no longer able to make these decisions for yourself. This appointment becomes particularly important when you need someone to liaise on your behalf with Centrelink, My Aged Care and healthcare providers to ensure you receive the assistance you need.
Probate
Probate is the process of the Executor of a Will proving to the Supreme Court that the Will they hold is the original and most recent Will of the deceased, it meets legal formalities and that they are entitled to administer the deceased’s Estate. Applications for Probate are a legal process which require proper advice and guidance to ensure the Executor meets its legal obligations in administration of the Estate.
Conveyancing
Conveyancing is not only the transfer of real estate ownership from one party to the other, but also involves a multitude of other transactions such as registration of caveats, mortgages, leases and other dealings on title which may affect the proprietor’s freedom to deal with the property. It is a complex area of law where the smallest mistakes can lead to significant consequences.
