Probate is the process by which the executor must apply to the Supreme
Courts of WA to confirm that a Will is legally valid; it is the process of proving
and registering in the Supreme Court the last Will of a deceased person. It is
usually the executor of your Will who administers the estate and handles the
disposal of your assets and debts.
In order to get authority to do this, they usually need to obtain a legal
document called a Grant of Probate. For assistance with the process of
obtaining a Grant of Probate, it is usually helpful to consult a specialist Wills
and Probate lawyer. Details about Probate, including filing fees, can be found
at the website of the Supreme Court of Western Australia.
