Frequently asked questions
The Executor is refusing to obtain a Grant of Probate – what should I do?
If an Executor is refusing to obtain a Grant of Probate and you believe that obtaining a Grant of Probate is necessary, you should seek independent Estate planning legal advice. In certain circumstances, a person can make application to the Supreme Court of Victoria seeking Orders that the Executor either obtain a Grant of Probate or renounce their executorship.
I believe that I wasn’t properly provided for under a deceased’s Will – can I challenge the Will?
Whether you can challenge a deceased’s Will if you believe that you have not been properly provided for depends on a number of factors, including your relationship to the deceased, your financial circumstances, the financial circumstances of others who have been provided for, and what, if any, provision has been made for you. There is no black and white answer to this question. If you wish to challenge a Will, you should seek independent legal advice regarding your ability to do so and the process involved.
The Executor will not provide me with a copy of the deceased’s Will – what should I do?
Certain people are entitled to receive a copy of the deceased’s Will pursuant to the Wills Act 1997. If you believe that you are entitled to a copy of the Will and the Executor is refusing to provide you with a copy, you should seek independent legal advice as to whether you have an entitlement to receive a copy.
