Document Search
We can obtain birth, marriage and death certificates, adoption certificates, Wills, Grants of Probate and Decrees Absolute and carry out Australian bankruptcy searches.
It is important that all relevant certificates of birth, marriage and death are obtained to help ensure that an estate is correctly distributed and to confirm the identity of the legatees or next of kin.
Furthermore, in order to transfer the unused nil rate band portion of a predeceased spouse you may be lacking one or more of the following documents: marriage certificate; death certificate; grant of probate.
