Estate applications - QLD
A new system for lodging estate applications online in the Supreme Court has commenced.
New e-lodgment portal
The Queensland Courts and Tribunals Online Services Portal allows legal practitioners to electronically lodge estate applications such as for grants of probate, letters of administration, caveats, renunciations, reseals, and revocations of grants of probate. The court's Guide to e-lodgment for legal practitioners assists practitioners in navigating the new e-lodgment portal. A log-in using a digital identity is required. Law firms using the portal need to create an organisation profile, which allows individual users to be added and managed. To add a new user to the portal as part of a firm, an Organisation Request Code has to be created and entered. Staff of a law firm who log into the portal have to identify themselves as a legal practitioner, paralegal, legal assistant, or administrative officer. The home page of the new e-lodgment portal offers three services:- Probate search;
- Wills and Estates;
- Document verification.
