Estate administration

An unfortunate but necessary process. We can help guide you through.

The path for Executors of deceased estates can potentially be difficult to navigate, requiring professional guidance along the way.

Our team supports Executors in understanding and discharging their responsibilities in accordance with the wishes of the deceased and with minimum stress.

Our team doesn’t just provide advice to Executors. We also work with the Executor’s chosen advisers, including their financial adviser, accountant and broker, to ensure the Will-maker’s intentions are met with the least amount of fuss.

The Redchip team provides Executors with direction and assistance in managing the Estate Administration process including:

  • Obtaining Probate or Letter of Administration (as required)
  • Sales of Estate property and investments
  • Establishment of post-deathTrusts
  • Closing of bank accounts
  • Closing of Super Funds and petition of Super Funds if no Binding Death Benefit Nomination exists
  • Advice to Executors regarding their legal obligations, including to beneficiaries
  • Practical advice when dealing with disappointed beneficiaries
