Navigating the Complexities of Succession Law and Probate
The law of succession in Victoria, Australia, is the set of rules and principles that govern the distribution of a person's property and assets after they pass away. This includes determining who inherits the deceased's property and how much they are entitled to receive.
Under the law of succession in Victoria, a person's property is generally distributed according to their will, if they have one. If they do not have a will, their property is distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which are set out in the Administration and Probate Act.
The rules of intestacy provide a formula for distributing a person's property among their next of kin, with priority given to their spouse, children, and other close relatives. This distribution may differ depending on the specific circumstances of the deceased person, such as whether they had children, were married, and or if they had any surviving parents or siblings.
Our succession law and probate lawyers operating throughout South Melbourne, can assist you in navigating the legal process of administering an estate, which may include applying for probate, managing assets, resolving disputes, and distributing property to beneficiaries. They can also guide on complex legal issues such as tax implications, trusts, and the validity of wills.
