Estate administrators with decades of knowledge
In the event of a loved one’s death, the executor of the will faces a tough challenge. You need to mourn, but you’ve also been entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the deceased’s intentions are respected. It’s stressful, but you can avoid the anxiety by consulting a skilful estate administration lawyer.
People always have the same questions. What does it involve? How long will it take? How much will it cost?
Few people understand the complexities of estate administration. But a skilled succession lawyer can explain every facet of the process in layman’s terms, provide timelines and recommend ways of ensuring the will is honoured.
A specialist can assist with all required planning, communication, applications and the distribution of funds.
But not all lawyers are alike. Expert succession lawyers have the experience to not only generate the necessary documents and provide advice but also understand the needs of the executor during a difficult time. It requires a balance of professionalism and consideration that lawyers are not renowned for.
Considering all fees for estate administration are set by the court, your priority should be finding a specialist estate administration lawyer. It’s the same fee whether you get an inexperienced lawyer or an experienced expert, so you may as well have the best.
A team dedicated to the highest standards of deceased estate administration
We know it’s a challenging subject to discuss, but you can always be sure that Marc Hardman and Associates will make consultations as quick and comfortable as possible.
Specialising in succession law means we work closely with clients preparing wills. We understand the concerns and choices that inform every decision. That’s why we’re so committed to honouring the deceased’s intentions.
We’ll meet with you face to face and discuss the asset pool, your intentions and the family’s needs. You’ll understand every process, timeline and expectation. We’ll set a date and stick to it. Most importantly, you’ll learn how we relieve the pressure on executors by planning, communicating, applying, liaising and distributing funds.
Our estate administration lawyers liaise with banks, courts and asset holders to pay creditors and redistribute assets. Then it’s our goal to distribute assets to the right beneficiaries. It’s a complicated process that involves communicating with every party, including courts, banks, share companies and real estate agents.
When it comes time to get the probate granted, we prepare the documents and represent you in court. This is when it can be challenging to be an executor. It’s not uncommon for the will to create conflict within families and put undue pressure on executors.
Our experienced lawyers can be indispensable when a will is challenged. Our experts have represented challengers and executors, so we have a realistic idea of likely outcomes. We can often settle the dispute quickly and fairly without going to court.
40 years of experience as administrators of estates
Making sure the right people benefit
After creating so many wills, power of attorney, and the appointment of enduring guardian documents, we always staunchly defend the intentions of the deceased. We work closely with clients daily to discuss difficult topics like accidents, sickness and death. All of our work in succession law aims to ensure our clients and their beneficiaries are cared for.
We do the heavy lifting
The thought of being the executor of a will is daunting. There are hundreds of tasks to perform before beneficiaries receive what they deserve. But with Marc Hardman and Associates assisting you, most of those tasks will be completed by our team. It will still be difficult, but with most of the communication between parties being managed by our firm, executors are less likely to feel overwhelmed.
Expediting the process
When we set a date of completion, we stick to it. The process can be long and frustrating, but nobody is faster than our specialists. Working closely as a team, your estate administration lawyers will ensure assets are distributed on time or ahead of schedule. During the process, we never compromise on the accuracy of information. Our goal is to provide the fastest and most reliable outcome for you.
