Letters of Administration
When a person passes away without a valid Will, their estate is managed through a process called Letters of Administration. This involves the court appointing an administrator, usually a close family member, to handle the estate.
We know that navigating this process can feel particularly challenging during a time of grief. That is why we take the time to explain each step clearly and provide steady support, helping you manage both the legal requirements and the practical responsibilities with confidence and care.
Our process for Letters of Administration is focused on making things as clear and manageable as possible. We begin by confirming who is eligible to apply and gathering the necessary details about the estate.
We then prepare and lodge the required documents with the Supreme Court of South Australia on your behalf. Once the grant is issued, we can guide you through the practical steps of administering the estate, such as collecting assets and paying debts. Learn more by visiting our Administrator Support page. Throughout the process, we provide guidance and reassurance at every stage.
