What clients usually ask
What if there is no will?
The estate can still be administered, but the consequences depend on the family and asset position and should be assessed from the facts.
The usual first steps
- Establish the will, family, assets and liabilities.
- Report and administer the estate through the required process.
- Attend to the account, distribution and any property or dispute issues.
What to bring
Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
