Letters of Administration If the Deceased died without leaving a Will (ie they died intestate), or if their Will is deemed to be invalid, Shire Legal can assist you with applying for Letters of Administration to the Supreme Court of NSW, so that you can be appointed as the administrator of the Estate. In these circumstances, there is legislation that details how an estate may be distributed and by whom. The Supreme Court can appoint an Administrator to distribute the estate under the Wills, Probate and Administration Act 1898 (NSW). The Family Provision Act 1982 If you expected to be a beneficiary of a will but have not been provided for, you can make a claim against the distribution of any estate under the Family Provision Act 1982 (NSW), provided you can clearly set out reasons as to why you should be considered a beneficiary of the deceased estate. Contact Shire Legal to arrange a consultation with an experienced solicitor.
