Publishing a Notice of Intention to apply for a grant of Probate or Letters of Administration in Tasmania

Our first step in the process is to run what is called a Notice of Intention, which is published on the Supreme Court of Tasmania website at https://www.supremecourt.tas.gov.au/probate/notices-intention-apply/.

The information that needs to be included in the Notice of Intention is all quite standard and includes;

- the name of the deceased

- date of the will

- Tasmanian residential address of the deceased

- name of the executor(s)

- addresses of the executor(s)

- our address for service so that any interested parties can make contact

And then the following wording is written:

TAKE NOTE:

After 14 days from the date of publication of this notice an application for a grant of probate of the will dated "date of will" in the aforementioned estate will be made to the Probate Registry of the Supreme Court of Tasmania.

 

The Probate Filing Fee

This is a the charge imposed by the Supreme Court in order to lodge an application for Probate in Queensland.  Unlike most other states in Australia, the filing fee is not based on the total value of the assets held by the deceased.  Regardless of the value of the estate, the Probate filing fee in Queensland is $819.00.  If an executor holds a commonwealth issued concession or seniors card, the filing fee is reduced to $149.60.
