Estate Administration includes acting as an Executor under a will and acting as an Administrator appointed by the Court when adeceased person dies without a will. In both cases, the process is often challenging and complex.

An Executor or Administrator must be careful and scrupulous, ensuring that they adhere to all their duties at law. If they do not, they may face personal financial liability to creditors or the government. An Executor or Administrator should obtain competent representation by a lawyer who knows the complexities of estate administration law so that they can avoid such liability.

The PLLR team has years of experience helping people administer both simple and complex estates, including obtaining Probate/Letters of Administration, passing of accounts, distribution of estate assets and Executor/Trustee remuneration.
