Parker Law QLD supports executors in managing deceased estates by facilitating processes such as obtaining probate, transferring assets, and ensuring compliance with the deceased's will. In cases of intestacy, our services extend to appointing administrators and overseeing estate distribution in accordance with applicable legislation.

An Enduring Power of Attorney is a vital legal document granting someone the authority to act on behalf of another person, particularly in financial and personal matters, and is crucial for individuals aged 18 and above. This legal tool helps manage affairs in situations of illness, disability, or incapacity, ensuring that designated individuals can make decisions as authorized. Without a power of attorney, the Public Trustee may intervene, incurring fees, and family members may lack the authority to influence decisions about the individual's future.

Parker Law QLD can assist your executor in the administration of a deceased estate in accordance with the deceased’s will. This may involve obtaining probate where it is required and transferring property, shares and other assets to beneficiaries. If an intestate estate, we can assist in appointing an administrator to the estate and distributing the estate as per legislation.

A will is a legal document outlining how your assets should be distributed after your death, and it appoints an executor to manage your estate. Without a will, your assets are distributed according to intestacy rules, prioritising next of kin. Dying intestate may lead to unwanted consequences, like selling the family home or estranged family members inheriting assets against your wishes. Using a lawyer to prepare a will ensures clarity, proper wording, and valid execution, giving you peace of mind that your wishes will be binding. Parker Law QLD can help tailor a will to your specific needs, addressing issues like testamentary trusts or complex family arrangements. Contact us for an obligation-free discussion.
