We are often asked; what is the difference between Probate and Estate Administration?
Probate refers to the Grant of Probate, which is required by law in order to carry out wishes in someone's Will after they have passed away.

One of the most common questions we get asked... "what happens if I die and I don't have a Will?"

Serving as the executor is a huge responsibility and be terrifying. "By definition, an executor is entrusted with the large responsibility of making sure a person's last wishes are granted with regards to the disposition of their property and possessions."
