Wills, Estates & Probate FAQs in Geelong, Victoria
How many wills and estates lawyers are there in Geelong?
We list 24. Most (16) are in Geelong. The rest are spread across Belmont, Torquay and other suburbs.
Which wills and estates lawyers in Geelong have the best reviews?
EAS Legal leads our ranking with 5.0 from 148 Google reviews. Ben von Einem & Associates and Taylor Legal are next. We weigh how many reviews a firm has as well as its score, so one perfect review can't top the list.
How do clients rate wills and estates lawyers in Geelong?
Pretty well. 15 of the 20 rated firms hold 4.5 stars or better. The average is 4.6.
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.
