NATIONAL PROBATE AND ESTATES GROUP - Key Persons
Benjamin is one of National Probate's directors, responsible for all things "tech". He also assists with the day to day operations of National Probate's uncontested applications department, facilitating the granting of hundreds of probate, letters of administration and reseal applications across Australia.
Over the last 6 years Benjamin has helped create and design National Probate's software and operation platform, allowing our estate solicitors and paralegals to manage the high volumes of applications, at high standards, being submitted to Australia's various state Supreme Courts. This has allowed the National Probate team to spend more time focusing on client care, than being bogged down in precedents and paperwork. Due to his involvement in the world of probate during this time, Benjamin has developed an intricate knowledge of probate and administration laws and process, often exceeding that of non-specialist suburban solicitors.
Bill heads the National Probate's property and conveyancing team, and often appears for his clients at the Supreme Court on various estate and property lists. He is particularly experienced in ensuring a smooth process for executors and administrators involved in conveyancing and property transfer transitions across Australia.
Bill's experience and work in estate planning and administration means that he is uniquely positioned to ensure that estate property transactions are executed with minimal risk to the representatives of estates.
Some of Bill's recent experience includes:

He also acts for estates and plaintiffs in contested probate, equity and family provision proceedings. Over the years, Gennadi has advised and acted for Public and Private trustees organisations across Australia, and interstate and international law firms around the world. He and his team are well equipped to handle even the most complex administration applications and estate suits.
