Executor Services
When someone dies, their assets are called the estate. Assets include a person’s property and belongings that have value, such as a house, car, shares and investments.
If the person had a will, they would have chosen an executor in their will. The executor is responsible for administering the estate by following the instructions in the will.
We are Victoria’s leading estate administrator and can help in a number of ways. A person can choose us as the executor in their will. This means we will manage the administration of the estate from beginning to end. An executor can also ask us to take over their role and manage the administration for them.
If an executor wants to stay in the role of executor but needs some help, we can help with tasks like:
- applying for probate
- preparing tax returns
- some legal services, such as conveyancing
