Probate

​

Clear, practical guidance when managing a loved one’s estate
 

Losing a loved one is difficult, and dealing with legal and financial matters during that time can feel overwhelming. Probate is the legal process that allows the executor of a will to manage and distribute the deceased person’s estate.
 

At Innova Legal, we guide executors through the entire probate process with clear advice, fixed fees and practical support.

What is probate?

​

Probate is a grant issued by the Supreme Court that confirms the validity of the will and gives the executor legal authority to deal with the deceased person’s assets.

​

This may include:

​

• Selling or transferring real estate

• Accessing bank accounts and investments

• Collecting superannuation or insurance proceeds

• Paying debts and liabilities

• Distributing the estate to beneficiaries

 

Not every estate requires probate, but many banks, institutions and land registries will require a grant before releasing assets.

 

How we help executors

​

We handle the legal process from start to finish, including:

​

• Advising whether probate is required

• Preparing all court documents and affidavits

• Filing the probate application with the Supreme Court

• Liaising with banks, agents and institutions

• Assisting with estate administration and asset transfers

 

Our goal is to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.

​

Fixed-fee probate services

​

We offer competitive fixed fees for most standard probate applications, so you know the cost upfront.

If the estate is more complex, we will provide clear pricing before any work begins.
