How we compiled this list
We include firms with a Brisbane office whose own websites show real wills and estates work: wills, powers of attorney, probate, estate administration or will disputes. For each firm we read its website in October 2026 and wrote the description ourselves. We only name accredited specialists where the firm's site or the Queensland Law Society register says they're accredited in succession law, and we checked the register where we could. Some firms here lean towards estate planning and others towards disputes, and we say so in the write-up. Consultation and fee terms are as the firm describes them, so confirm them when you call. We show Google ratings with the date we checked them.
No firm pays for its place on this list, and the order is our own. We write the descriptions ourselves, and firms don't get to edit them. If something here is out of date, let us know. There's more detail on how we rank law firms.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Rules are as set out in the Succession Act 1981 and as published by Queensland Courts, the Public Trustee of Queensland, Legal Aid Queensland and the Legal Services Commission in October 2026. Court and Public Trustee fees are as at 1 July 2026.
Making a valid will in Queensland
The Public Trustee of Queensland says anyone over 18 can make a will, as long as they have testamentary capacity. A will made by someone under 18 generally isn't valid, though there are exceptions, such as a will made in contemplation of a marriage or one the Supreme Court has authorised.
Signing: under section 10 of the Succession Act 1981, the will must be in writing and signed by you, or by someone else in your presence and at your direction
Witnesses: you sign, or acknowledge your signature, in front of two or more witnesses present at the same time, and at least two of them sign the will in your presence
Who can witness: the Act sets no minimum age for a witness, but someone who can't see and attest your signature can't be one
Gifts to witnesses: a gift to a witness is generally void as far as that witness is concerned, so choose witnesses who don't inherit
Changes after signing: an alteration has no effect unless it's signed and witnessed like a will. Signatures in the margin beside the change can be enough
Will kits: the Public Trustee warns that a home made will or will kit can be risky, because it may not be properly signed and witnessed
If a document wasn't signed properly, the Supreme Court can still treat it as a will if it's satisfied the person meant it to be one. The court can also authorise a will for a living person who doesn't have testamentary capacity. It can also fix a will that contains a clerical error or doesn't carry out the will maker's instructions. The application generally has to be made within 6 months of the death, although the court can extend this if the estate hasn't been fully distributed.
Marriage, divorce and separation. Marriage revokes a will, unless it was made in contemplation of that marriage. Marriage doesn't cancel a gift to the person you were married to when you died, or their appointment as executor. Divorce revokes gifts and appointments in favour of a former spouse, unless the will shows a contrary intention, and the end of a de facto relationship or civil partnership works the same way. An appointment of your former spouse as trustee of property left for beneficiaries that include their children still stands. The Public Trustee points out that separating without divorcing doesn't revoke a will, so a separated spouse is likely to receive any gifts left to them.
What a will doesn't cover. Assets you own with someone as joint tenants pass automatically to the surviving owner. Superannuation doesn't automatically form part of your estate. Your fund pays it under a binding nomination if you have one, or at the trustee's discretion if you don't. It only passes under your will if it's paid to your executor.
Enduring powers of attorney and advance health directives
A will only works after you die. These documents cover the time before that, if you can't make decisions for yourself.
Document
What it does
Enduring power of attorney
Appoints attorneys for your financial matters, your personal matters (including health), or both, and keeps working if you later lose capacity. A financial power starts when you say, or straight away if you don't say. A personal or health power can only be used while you can't make that decision yourself
General power of attorney
Covers financial matters only, and stops working if you lose capacity
Advance health directive
Gives your own directions about future health care, such as consenting to treatment or refusing life sustaining measures in some circumstances. It only operates while you lack capacity for the decision, and its directions take priority over an attorney's health powers
Who can make one: anyone 18 or over can make an enduring power of attorney, and can change or cancel it while they still have capacity
Who you can appoint: under section 29 of the Powers of Attorney Act 1998, an attorney must be at least 18 with capacity for the matter. It can't be someone who was your paid carer in the past 3 years, your health provider, or a residential service provider where you live, and a bankrupt can't be appointed for financial matters. You can also appoint the Public Trustee or a trustee company for financial matters
Witnessing: both documents need an eligible witness: a justice of the peace, commissioner for declarations, lawyer or notary public. They can't be the person signing for you, one of your attorneys, or a relation of you or an attorney. If the document covers personal or health matters, they also can't be your paid carer or health provider. For an advance health directive, they also can't be a beneficiary under your will
Forms: the government forms are Form 2 or Form 3 for an enduring power of attorney and Form 4 for an advance health directive, which your doctor or a nurse practitioner also signs. New forms were approved on 30 November 2020, and documents properly made before then are still valid. Send copies, not originals, to the Statewide Office of Advance Care Planning
Registering: there's no central register in Queensland. An attorney may need to register it with Titles Queensland to deal with land
When it ends: on your death. The executor named in your will takes over from there
An attorney must act honestly and with reasonable diligence to protect your interests, and can be held liable through a court or QCAT. The Public Guardian can investigate complaints about an attorney. You can fill in the government form yourself, though the Public Trustee suggests having a professional check it. The Public Trustee's fees page lists $216.25 to prepare an enduring power of attorney for one person and $329.35 for a couple, and it stores the original free.
If someone dies without a will
When a person dies without a valid will, the Succession Act decides who gets the estate. The Public Trustee sets out the order:
a spouse or de facto partner, and children and grandchildren
parents
brothers and sisters
nephews and nieces
grandparents
aunts, uncles and cousins
The shares between a spouse and children are set out in Schedule 2 of the Act. The estate can't pass to anyone more remote than a first cousin, and in laws, stepparents and stepchildren aren't next of kin. If no living relatives can be found, the estate goes to the government.
30 days: a person has to outlive the deceased by 30 days to share in the estate
De facto partners: count as a spouse if the relationship lasted at least 2 years, continuously up to the death
Children: adopted children and children born outside marriage have the same rights as other children
The family home: a spouse who lived in the home can choose to buy the deceased's share at transfer value. The election must be made in writing. If the spouse is the personal representative, it's due within 3 months of their appointment. Otherwise it's due within 3 months of the personal representative giving the spouse written notice
Probate and letters of administration
A grant from the Supreme Court gives someone authority to deal with the estate. There are three kinds:
Probate: there's a valid will, and the executor named in it applies
Letters of administration with the will: there's a will, but no executor applies
Letters of administration without a will: there's no valid will, and usually a close family member applies
You may not need a grant at all. Queensland Courts says a grant may not be needed for low value assets, such as a small bank account, so check with the bank first. Real estate can often be transferred to a beneficiary named in the will, or sold, through a Titles Queensland process without probate. Property held as joint tenants passes to the survivor, but property held as tenants in common doesn't.
Applying. Before you apply, you publish a notice of intention to apply in the Queensland Law Reporter and send a copy to the Public Trustee. You can file once at least 7 days have passed since the Public Trustee got the notice, and 14 clear days since the notice was published. Filing too early is a common reason for the registry to send back a requisition. Law firms lodge online, and people applying themselves file in person or by post at a Supreme Court registry, including Brisbane. A grant can't be made to more than 4 people at once. Anyone with an interest in the estate can file a caveat, and the court stops examining the application until it's dealt with. Once a will is filed with the court, it becomes a public document.
Supreme Court fee
From 1 July 2026
Application for probate or letters of administration
$847.60, the same for any size of estate
Reduced fee for an eligible individual
$154.70
Resealing a grant from another state or country
$847.60
The reduced fee covers people helped by Legal Aid or the Public Trustee, some concession card holders and people on some Centrelink payments, or where the registrar assesses financial hardship. Advertising in the Queensland Law Reporter is extra. The Public Trustee lists the cost as $161.70.
The executor's job. Nobody has to take on the role of executor, and an executor who doesn't want to act can renounce. The Public Trustee lists the tasks as finding the will, getting a grant, telling the beneficiaries, protecting and insuring assets, working out the debts, doing the tax returns, getting tax clearances, and transferring and distributing the assets. A final tax return has to be lodged before the estate is distributed. The Public Trustee says most estates take 6 to 12 months to administer, and some take longer.
Contesting a will in Queensland
A family provision application asks the Supreme Court to give you more from an estate because the will, or the intestacy rules, didn't make adequate provision for you. Under section 41 of the Succession Act, these people can apply:
A spouse: including a de facto partner of at least 2 years, a civil partner, and a former spouse or civil partner who hadn't remarried or re partnered by the time of the death and was receiving, or entitled to receive, maintenance from the deceased
A child: including a stepchild or adopted child. A stepchild relationship ends if the deceased's relationship with the child's parent ended before the death
A dependant: someone who was wholly or substantially supported by the deceased when they died (not in return for full value), and who is the deceased's parent, the parent of the deceased's child under 18, or a person under 18. The court must also be satisfied it's proper to make provision for them
The time limit is 9 months from the death. Section 41(8) says that, unless the court directs otherwise, the proceedings must be started within 9 months after the death, and the court can hear the claim even if no grant has been made. The clock runs from the date of death, not from the grant.
Why 6 months matters too. The 6 month mark isn't a deadline for your claim. It's the point from which an executor is protected under section 44: an executor who distributes the estate at least 6 months after the death, without notice of a claim, can't be sued for doing so. If the executor gets written notice that you intend to claim, they're only protected if they wait at least 9 months from the death before distributing. Once you've started the case and the executor has been told in writing or served, distributing exposes them to liability. The notice must be in writing and signed by you or your lawyer. So if you're thinking of claiming, tell the executor in writing early.
The Public Trustee says the court looks at your needs, age, health and finances, your relationship with the deceased, what they may have wanted, and the needs of the other beneficiaries. It can order a lump sum or regular payments. Separately, anyone with an interest in the estate can file a caveat to object to a grant, for example if they doubt the will is valid. Disputes are expensive: the Public Trustee reported a 2025 District Court case in which an estate worth just over $900,000 ran up estimated legal costs of almost $145,000 unsuccessfully defending a family provision claim.
What a Brisbane wills and estates lawyer costs, and free help
Many firms quote fixed fees for wills and powers of attorney, and charge by the hour or in stages for estate administration and disputes. Some offer to defer fees in estate matters until the estate can pay. In Queensland, for most matters, a law firm has to tell you in writing how it will charge and give an estimate of the total cost, and let you know in writing if that changes substantially. No disclosure is needed where costs are likely to be under $1,500, excluding GST and disbursements. Between $1,500 and $3,000, a shorter disclosure can be given out loud and then confirmed in writing.
Public Trustee of Queensland: 1300 360 044. Makes wills free of charge, including updates. A will appointment is a one hour meeting, and it can store your original will
Legal Aid Queensland: 1300 65 11 88, weekdays 8:30am to 4:30pm, or 1300 65 01 43 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It doesn't prepare, witness or advise on wills, but someone making a claim about a will or estate may be eligible for help through its Civil Law Legal Aid Scheme
Community legal centres and the Queensland Law Society: Legal Aid Queensland refers people to these to find further help or a private lawyer
Accredited succession law specialists. The Queensland Law Society accredits specialists in succession law. The assessment covers wills and estate planning, estate administration and estate litigation. To apply, a solicitor needs at least five consecutive years of full time practice, with at least 25 per cent of their practice in succession law in each of the previous three years. To keep accreditation, a specialist must practise in succession law for at least 25 per cent of a full time practice and complete 15 CPD points a year, at least 10 of them in succession law. It isn't required to practise. You can check a solicitor on the QLS register.
Brisbane estate planning law: common questions
How long do I have to contest a will in Queensland?
A family provision application must be started within 9 months after the death, unless the court directs otherwise. That's the only deadline. But an executor who hasn't been told about a claim can safely distribute the estate from 6 months after the death, so write to the executor before then if you intend to claim.
Who can make a family provision claim?
A spouse, including a de facto partner of at least 2 years and some dependent former spouses, a child, including a stepchild or adopted child, and a dependant. A dependant must have been wholly or substantially supported by the deceased when they died (not in return for full value), and be the deceased's parent, the parent of the deceased's child under 18, or a person under 18.
Does getting married cancel my will?
Yes, unless the will was made in contemplation of that marriage. Divorce cancels gifts and appointments in favour of your former spouse, unless your will says otherwise, and the end of a de facto relationship works the same way. Separation on its own doesn't, so update your will if your relationship ends.
How much does probate cost in Queensland?
From 1 July 2026 the Supreme Court filing fee is $847.60, the same for any size of estate, or $154.70 for eligible individuals. You also pay to advertise your notice of intention to apply, which the Public Trustee lists at $161.70. Legal fees are separate.
Do I always need probate?
No. Queensland Courts says a grant may not be needed for low value assets such as a small bank account, and real estate can often be transferred to a beneficiary through Titles Queensland without probate. Assets held as joint tenants pass straight to the surviving owner.
Who can witness an enduring power of attorney?
A justice of the peace, commissioner for declarations, lawyer or notary public. They can't be the person signing for you, one of your attorneys, or a relation of you or an attorney. If the document covers personal or health matters, they also can't be your paid carer or health provider. An advance health directive needs the same kind of witness, who also can't be a beneficiary under your will. A will is different: it needs two witnesses present at the same time, and someone who can't see and attest the signing can't be one. Choose people who don't inherit under it.
What is an accredited succession law specialist?
A solicitor accredited by the Queensland Law Society in succession law after at least five years of full time practice and an assessment. They must keep practising in the area for at least 25 per cent of a full time practice and do 15 CPD points a year. It isn't required to practise. On this list, Scott Whitla and Hayley Mitchell at McCullough Robertson, Ashleigh Poole at Thynne + Macartney and Paige Edwards at HopgoodGanim are listed on the QLS register as accredited specialists in succession law (checked October 2026).
