  • Estate Basics

  • Unfortunately Bare Law does not yet service Western Australia, South Australia, or the Northern Territory for Estate Administration. There is no need to complete the remainder of this form.

  • Property

    Unless jointly owned, property ownership will mean that a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration is required to transfer that ownership or manage the sale process.
  • Shares

  • Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD)

    A RAD is often paid as a lump sum for nursing home or care accommodation. The RAD is fully refundable to the resident when they leave the provider or is returned to the resident’s estate if they pass away.
  • Bank Accounts

  • The total value of banks accounts can be important when dealing with your loved one's assets.

    There will be a threshold that each bank has preset to determine how they will allow you to finalise and close your loved one's bank accounts. This varies significantly between banks and will determine whether a Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration) will be required to access and distribute the funds.
