When someone dies, the administration doesn't wait. Afterly guides Australian executors through every step — from the court application to closing the estate — at a fraction of the cost of a solicitor.

Step-by-step guidance
Documents generated automatically
No solicitor required

Being an executor is one of the hardest things you'll do.

You're named executor in a will. You're grieving. And now you're legally responsible for an unfamiliar, time-sensitive administrative process — often with no guidance, and solicitor professional fees that start from $700 — before court costs.

Afterly exists to change that. We guide you through every task in plain language, generate the documents you need, and tell you exactly what comes next.

1

Apply for a Grant of Probate

Required before estate assets can be accessed or distributed.

2

Notify banks and financial institutions

Each institution has its own process and required documentation.

3

Manage superannuation death benefit claims

Super does not automatically form part of the estate.

4

Transfer or sell property and assets

Land registries and share registries have specific requirements.

5

Lodge the final tax return

A tax return is required for the deceased up to the date of death.

6

Distribute the estate to beneficiaries

Only after all debts, taxes, and liabilities are settled.

Probate, done yourself.Without the solicitor's bill.

A Grant of Probate is the court order that confirms your authority to deal with the estate. Without it, most banks and registries will not release or transfer assets.

Afterly guides you through the application, generates every court-required form automatically, and tells you exactly how to lodge. Solicitors charge from $700 for the same outcome.

Common questions

What does an executor actually need to do?

As executor you're responsible for applying for probate, notifying banks and institutions, managing super claims, transferring assets, lodging the final tax return, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries. It's a substantial administrative workload — Afterly guides you through each task in order.

Do I need a solicitor to administer an estate?

Not for most estates. Probate applications, institution notifications, and many other tasks can be completed by the executor without legal representation. Afterly provides the guidance and documents you need. If your estate involves disputes or complex legal issues, we'll tell you and recommend independent legal advice.

What is probate and do I need it?

Probate is a court order confirming the validity of the will and your authority as executor. Most Australian banks and registries require a Grant of Probate before releasing estate assets. Afterly guides you through the Supreme Court probate application and generates every required form.

How much does Afterly cost?

Probate applications start at $99.95 AUD inclusive of GST — a flat fee covering all court-required documents. Solicitors typically charge from $700 for the same application. Additional services are priced separately as they launch.
