A testamentary trust gives you control over what happens to your assets long after you're gone ⚖️

Whether it's protecting a child who needs extra support, safeguarding against future family law claims or simply making sure wealth is distributed the way you intend in a blended family, it's a powerful tool that more people could benefit from 🗓️

Estate administration typically takes three to six months. Sometimes longer 🗓️

Advertising, probate applications, court processing and working through banks, super funds and share registries all take time. Understanding the process from the outset makes it far less overwhelming ⚖️

If you're navigating this process, Lockett McCullough is here to help you work through it step by step.

Administering a complex estate can be an enormous undertaking ⚖️

What a lot of executors don't know is that there are formal avenues to seek compensation for that work, either through agreement with the beneficiaries or by making an application to the court.

Whether it's worth pursuing will always depend on the size of the estate and the extent of the work involved 🗓️

If you've been named as an executor in a will, probate might be one of the first things you need to understand 📋

It's the court's formal declaration that confirms your role and allows you to deal with asset holders on behalf of the estate. But whether you actually need it depends on the circumstances ✅

If you've recently been named as an executor and have questions about where to start, speaking with an experienced lawyer early can make the process feel a lot more manageable.

Missed the deadline to make a claim on an estate? It doesn't automatically mean the door is closed 🗓️

The court can grant an extension of time but it will look carefully at why the delay occurred, the merits of the claim and whether the beneficiaries would be unfairly prejudiced.

Understanding where you stand before making any decisions is always the right first step ⚖️

The six month clock for contesting a will starts from the date of death, not the date probate is granted 🕐

It's a distinction that catches a lot of people off guard. If you're sitting on the fence about whether to make a claim, getting advice early and having a solicitor file within the timeframe can preserve your rights while you decide what to do next 📌
