Check your eligibility →As executor, you're legally responsible for applying to the Supreme Court for a Grant of Probate before you can access the estate's assets. It's a process that's unfamiliar, exacting, and genuinely hard to navigate alone.
Most families pay upwards of $700 for a solicitor to do it for them. For what is largely an administrative task.
And when you do it alone, errors are easy to make. A name inconsistency, a missed field, a wrong date format — the court rejects the application and the wait starts again.
There's another way.
A name spelled differently across two documents, a date in the wrong format, a missed field — the court rejects the application and the clock resets. Afterly's QA checks catch these issues before you ever reach the courthouse.
You enter the estate details once. Afterly carries every name, date, address, and asset value across all 7 court forms automatically — nothing re-entered, nothing missed.
Courts reject applications where the same detail appears differently across forms. Because every document draws from the same data, there's nothing to fall out of sync.
Each document is generated to Queensland Supreme Court requirements — correct form versions, correct clause language, correct formatting. Before you download, Afterly flags any issues so you lodge once and lodge correctly.
Three steps. One flat fee. No legal knowledge required.
Answer questions about the deceased, your details as executor, and the will and estate. Afterly guides you through each stage in order — you can't miss a step. Everything you enter here flows through to all 7 court forms automatically. You won't be asked for the same information twice.
Afterly links you to the Queensland Law Reporter (ICLRQ Online Portal) to publish your notice and begin the mandatory 14-day wait. While you wait, Afterly generates a pre-filled service email to the Public Trustee. Once the 14 days have passed, all 7 court forms are generated in PDF and Word format for your review.
Sign your affidavits before a Justice of the Peace — available at most Queensland courts and libraries, usually free. Then lodge with the Queensland Supreme Court. The $819.90 filing fee is paid directly to the court.
Afterly is for executors handling straightforward estates — typically an adult child or spouse named in the will who needs to apply for probate before assets can be accessed.
If you're unsure whether your estate qualifies, our screening questions will confirm your eligibility before you pay anything.

Each Australian state and territory has its own probate rules, court forms, and filing procedures. Afterly is built to handle each jurisdiction correctly — not a generic template applied across borders.
Queensland available now. Additional states launching through 2026.
No — for most estates with a valid will and no active disputes, you can apply yourself. Afterly guides you through the process and generates every court-required document. Think of it like tax software: we handle the preparation, you review and lodge.
Solicitors typically charge $700+ for a probate application, sometimes more for complex estates. Afterly charges $99.95 flat, inclusive of GST — for the same court-ready documents.

Your Afterly application takes approximately 60–90 minutes. After lodgement, the Queensland Supreme Court takes 4–8 weeks to issue the Grant of Probate.
No. Afterly is a document preparation and guidance service — not a law firm. We generate the paperwork required for your probate application. If your estate involves disputes, a contested will, or significant complexity, we'll tell you and recommend you seek independent legal advice.
