ACT – Estates – New publication

31 May 2018 by By Lawyers

We are delighted to announce a new publication by our ACT author, Doug Dawson, being a Guide for Probate and Letters of Administration (ACT).

The guide features detailed commentary, a matter plan and all necessary forms and precedents for obtaining a grant, getting in the assets and making the distribution.

The practical nature of this publication allows the practitioner to:

  • take instructions via our comprehensive and methodical instruction sheet;
  • gather information readily using our library of initial letters to asset holders;
  • make an application for probate or letters of administration with ease and confidence;
  • have a deed of release and indemnity and a deed of family arrangement immediately available in the mater when required.

We invite ACT practitioners – and those in other states who may need to conduct ACT estate matters – to explore our Probate and Letters of Administration matter plans, to appreciate the practicality and value of our publication.
