Forms to be used for the small estates optional service where there is no will
Before you start
This page is where you download the forms for a small estate application using the Probate Office's optional service, where the deceased did not leave a will.
If you haven't read about what a small estate application is or whether you're eligible, please visit the small estates optional service page before completing the forms. That page explains the steps and who can apply.
If you need a paper copy of the forms, call the Probate Office on (03) 8600 2006.
What you need to complete these forms
To complete the small estate application form, you will need:
• A certified copy of the death certificate.
• A list of the deceased person's assets and debts (for example: bank accounts, property, loans).
You will also need to complete the credit card authorisation form to pay the fees.
