If your loved one died leaving her/his last will and testament and you are one of the executors in the will, depending on the nature and value of assets such as bank account balances, you may be required to apply to the Court to obtain Probate before you can deal with the estate.

Probate is a legal document obtained by executors or one of the executors named in the will to apply to the Supreme Court of South Australia in its Testamentary Causes Jurisdiction (“the Court”). Application for Probate is the process proving the last will and testament of a deceased person and disclosure of all assets and liabilities to the Court. Whilst there is no legal requirement to be represented by a lawyer, due to complexity surrounding the process, even highly educated persons find it useful to engage a lawyer who specialises in this area of the law to assist them with the matter.
