Probate is the legal process of validating a deceased person’s will and authorising an executor to distribute their assets. In Victoria, it’s typically required when significant assets like property, shares, or substantial bank accounts are involved.

On average, obtaining a grant of probate in Melbourne takes around 4-8 weeks, though complex estates or disputes can extend this timeframe.

Yes, a Will can be contested if someone believes they were unfairly excluded or inadequately provided for. Common grounds include undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, or unclear terms. Seeking professional advice is crucial in these situations.

If someone dies without a valid Will (known as dying intestate), Victorian laws determine how their assets are distributed—typically to immediate family. This can be a lengthy and emotionally challenging process, which is why having a clear Will is strongly recommended.
