Small estates

Written By For Good Digital

Many people die leaving only small estates (currently valued at less than $129 850) and in such cases, the A&P Act makes special provisions for the procedures mentioned above to be simplified. These provisions apply both to testate and intestate estates. For a relatively small fee, the Probate Office will prepare the paperwork required to apply for a grant of representation (probate or administration), under the small estates optional service.
