How we rank these firms

This ranking is based on real client feedback, not paid placement. We combine each firm's average client rating with the number of reviews it has received, so a firm with a single five-star review does not outrank an established practice with a long, consistent track record.

Ratings and review counts are sourced from public Google reviews and refreshed regularly. Because new reviews come in over time, the order of wills, estates & probate firms can change as client feedback accumulates.

A high rating is a useful starting point, but it is not a substitute for your own research. We recommend contacting two or three firms, asking about their experience with matters like yours, and confirming fees before making a decision.

Wills, Estates & Probate FAQs in Sydney, New South Wales

Do I really need a will?

If you have any assets, dependants or specific wishes, a will is strongly recommended. Without one, your estate is distributed under a fixed legal formula that may not reflect what you would have wanted.

How long does probate take in Australia?

Once an application is lodged, a grant of probate often takes a few weeks to issue, but administering the whole estate can take several months or longer depending on its complexity and whether anyone contests it.

Can a will be challenged?

Yes. Eligible people, such as a spouse or child left without adequate provision, can contest a will within strict time limits. An estates lawyer can advise on both making a claim and defending one.

How do I choose the right law firm in Sydney, New South Wales?

Look for a firm with genuine experience in your specific type of matter, clear and upfront pricing, and strong client reviews. Most firms offer an initial consultation, which is a good chance to ask about their approach and likely costs.

Should I get a free initial consultation?

Many firms offer a free or low-cost first appointment. Use it to explain your situation, understand your options and get a sense of fees before committing. It is also a useful way to compare a few firms.
