The Real Difference

Not All Probate Services Are the Same

Plenty of options claim to be “fixed fee” or “Australia’s most affordable.” Here’s what actually differs once you need real legal advice.

The Real Difference

Getting it wrong as executor isn't just inconvenient - it can be personal.

As executor, you’re personally responsible for administering the estate correctly. Making a mistake when administering an estate can result in unnecessary delays, additional legal costs, rework and a longer wait before beneficiaries can access estate funds.

Why executors bring in a lawyer, not just a form-filling service

A Grant of Probate application itself can be straightforward. What a lawyer actually protects you from is everything around it — the disputes, the technical notices, and the decisions that carry personal risk if handled incorrectly. That’s the gap between a document service and legal representation.

What We Help With

Whatever Stage You're At, We Can Help

Most people have never dealt with any of this before. Here are the situations we help Sydney families and executors with every day.

  • Applying for Probate

You're the executor named in a Will and need the Court to formally approve it before you can act. We handle the whole process for you.

  • No Will? We Can Still Help

If someone passes away without a Will, we apply for "Letters of Administration" on your behalf so the estate can still be sorted.

  • Transferring the Family Home

Need to transfer a property into a beneficiary's name after someone passes away? We manage the legal side of it all.

  • Selling the Family Home

Need to sell the property after someone has passed away? GW Lawyers can handle the entire conveyancing process.

  • Sorting Bank Accounts & Super

Banks and super funds often need a formal Grant before releasing funds. We deal with the institutions so you don't have to.

  • Not Sure What You Need? Just Ask

Most people don't know where to start. Tell us what's happened in plain terms and we'll tell you exactly what to do next.
