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.
