If you are the named executor, we can help provide you with clear direction on how to fulfil your duties and obligations correctly.
With our proven track record, we have successfully guided hundreds of executors through the process of obtaining a “Grant of Probate”, a legal requirement for you to manage assets.
If you need assistance in applying for Probate or other estate administration matters, contact Kelly Kelly Legal.

A Smarter, Flexible Way to Fund Your Estate Administration Matter
Managing a deceased estate and the probate process often means covering more than just legal fees. Executors can face costs like insurance, property maintenance, and other expenses — often out of their own pocket, with reimbursement to come later. They may even want to improve assets prior to sale.
Through our partnership with JustFund, eligible Executors and Beneficiaries can access flexible funding to cover these expenses as well as legal fees, with no repayments until probate is finalised. This helps ease financial pressure while ensuring the estate is preserved. Contact us for more information, or visit JustFund.com.au
