What is probate?
Probate is the NSW Supreme Court confirming that a will is valid and that the executor has the authority to deal with the estate. Banks, super funds and the land registry usually ask for it before they release assets.
Not always. As a rule of thumb, you will need probate if there is real estate in the deceased's sole name or significant accounts. The eligibility check is free, so ask us first.
We prepare and lodge your NSW probate application for you. You are always free to seek independent legal advice, and if your matter is contested or unusual we will tell you and refer you to a specialist.
Preparing your application takes a few days once we have your documents. There is a required 14-day public notice period before lodgement, and the Court's own processing time is usually a few weeks. We track it so you never have to chase the Court.
One fixed fee for a straightforward NSW estate. No hourly rates, no percentage of the estate, no surprises at the end.
$99
one fixed fee, paid once
The NSW Supreme Court filing fee is separate and paid directly to the Court. We show the full schedule below.
A fully managed service from start to grant
We review your documents, set out the estate in the form the Supreme Court requires, prepare your affidavit, and lodge the application for you. A real person looks after it the whole way and keeps you updated.
Applies to straightforward estates with a valid will. Complex matters (a contested will, no will, overseas assets or an insolvent estate) are quoted separately or referred to a specialist, always before you pay.
How it works
Four steps. We carry the load.
You tell us about the estate, we deal with the Court. You only step in where the law needs your signature.
1You
Tell us about the estate
A few plain questions, plus the will and death certificate. About fifteen minutes.
2Us
We prepare everything
Documents checked, assets set out in the Court's format, your affidavit drafted.
3You
You sign once
Sign the affidavit in front of a Justice of the Peace. We tell you exactly where and how.
4Us
We lodge with the Court
Filed with the NSW Supreme Court, tracked until your grant arrives. We handle the follow-ups.
Complex matters (a contested will, no will, overseas assets or an insolvent estate) sit outside the flat fee, and the Court's filing fee is separate. We will always talk you through any extra cost before you decide.
Why we are different
The same outcome, for a fraction of the price.
Other services charge over a thousand dollars for the same probate preparation. We have stripped out the overhead and pass the saving to you.

The court's fee, not ours
The NSW Supreme Court filing fee
Every probate application in NSW pays a filing fee to the Supreme Court. It is set by the Court on a sliding scale based on the estate's gross value, and it is the same no matter who prepares your application.
Paid directly to the Court, not to us.
Identical whether you use us, a law firm, or do it yourself.
We confirm your exact fee during your free eligibility check.

Why is it only $99 when others charge thousands?
Because we do one thing: straightforward probate applications in NSW. We do not run city offices, bill by the hour, or take a percentage of the estate. The process for a straightforward estate follows the same Supreme Court requirements every time, so we have built our whole service around doing exactly that, efficiently. Complex matters genuinely need more work, which is why they are excluded and referred or quoted separately. The $99 is the real price for the straightforward path, not a teaser.
What is probate?
Probate is the NSW Supreme Court confirming that a will is valid and that the executor has the authority to deal with the estate. Banks, super funds and the land registry usually ask for it before they release assets.
Do I actually need probate?
Not always. If the estate is small, some banks and super funds will release funds without a grant, and jointly owned property usually passes to the surviving owner automatically. As a rule of thumb, you will need probate if there is real estate in the deceased's sole name or significant accounts. Ask us first: the eligibility check is free.
What documents do I need to get started?
Three things: the death certificate, the original will, and a rough list of what the deceased owned and owed. If you are missing the death certificate or cannot find the will yet, start the inquiry anyway and we will tell you what to do next.
What if there is no will?
When there is no will, the Court issues Letters of Administration instead of probate, and the rules about who can apply are different. That falls outside our $99 service, but call us anyway and we will explain the path and point you to the right help.
How long does it take?
Preparing your application takes us a few days once we have your documents. There is also a required 14-day public notice period before lodgement. After lodgement, the Court's own processing time is usually a few weeks. We track it and keep you posted, so you never have to chase the Court.
Do I need a lawyer?
We prepare and lodge your NSW probate application for you. You are always free to seek independent legal advice, and if your matter is contested or unusual we will tell you and refer you to a specialist.
Is my information safe?
Yes. Your information is held securely in Australia and is never used for anything other than preparing your application. You can read exactly how it is handled in our privacy statement.
