National Probate and Estates Group is a specialist practice helping families with probate, letters of administration and estate disputes across Australia. We are seeking a solicitor who can take ownership of a busy and varied probate caseload and who has the ambition to grow into a team leadership role.
This role will suit someone who enjoys getting applications right, progressing matters promptly and finding practical solutions when an estate is less than straightforward.
The role
You will:
Prepare and manage probate and letters of administration applications, including complex or unusual grants.
Advise executors and administrators on the application process, evidence requirements and issues that arise during estate administration.
Respond to requisitions and work through problems involving wills, executors, beneficiaries, assets or intestacy.
Manage your matters from initial instructions through to grant, with support from our legal and administration teams.
Assist our estate litigation solicitors when probate or administration matters become contested.
Help improve workflows and, as your experience develops, take on greater responsibility for mentoring and supervising others.
About you
You will have at least two years’ post qualification experience and hold, or be eligible to hold, an unrestricted practising certificate. You will bring substantial hands‑on experience with probate and letters of administration applications, sound legal judgment and clear communication with clients.
You are highly productive without compromising accuracy or client care. You are comfortable working towards clear goals, reviewing your results and finding ways to improve both your own work and the team’s processes. You also have a genuine interest in developing as a manager.
Experience with contested estates is welcome, but you do not need to be an estate litigator. What matters is that you can recognise when a grant or administration issue may become disputed and work effectively with our litigation team.
Experience with PEXA would be a bonus.
Why join us?
You will work in a specialist, growing practice with a steady flow of varied matters and the opportunity to build deep expertise in probate and estate administration. For the right person, this role offers a path towards leading people and helping shape how the team delivers its work.
