Queensland probate — common questions
Do I need a solicitor to apply for probate in Queensland?
No. There is no legal requirement to use a solicitor for a Queensland probate application. You can apply yourself as the named executor. Afterly provides step-by-step guidance and generates all 7 required forms. If your estate is complex — contested will, disputed beneficiaries, or significant legal ambiguity — we will let you know and recommend you seek independent legal advice.
What happens if I make a mistake on the forms?
Afterly's system is designed to prevent errors. We validate your answers before generating documents, and you review everything before downloading. If the court identifies an issue after lodgement, they'll issue a requisition — a request for clarification or a correction. Requisitions are common and can usually be resolved without starting over.
Can I apply if there is a co-executor?
Yes. Afterly fully supports joint executor applications. Both executors' details are captured during the application, and all co-executor affidavits — including the Form 105-co — are generated alongside the primary executor documents.
What court filing fees do I need to pay separately?
Queensland Supreme Court filing fees are paid directly to the court at lodgement — not through Afterly. The current fee is $819.90, a flat rate regardless of estate value. Concession and seniors card holders may be eligible for a reduced rate of $149.60. The Queensland Law Reporter advertising fee of $161.70 also applies to all applicants. Both costs are separate from the $99.95 Afterly fee.
Is there a time limit to apply for probate in Queensland?
Yes. The executor must file a probate application within 6 months of the date of death. Applications filed after 6 months may still be accepted but require a reasonable explanation for the delay. Afterly's process typically completes well within this window.
What are the waiting periods before I can lodge?
There are two mandatory waiting periods that must both elapse before lodgement. First, you must publish the Notice of Intention to Apply and wait 14 days from the publication date. Second, you must wait 7 business days from the date the Public Trustee of Queensland receives your notice. Both periods must pass — whichever finishes last sets your earliest lodgement date. Afterly tracks both periods for you.
What happens after I lodge with the court?
The Queensland Supreme Court reviews your application. Processing typically takes 4–8 weeks. If approved, the court issues the Grant of Probate — a legal document that authorises you to deal with the estate. If the court needs additional information, they will issue a requisition with specific requests.
