But sometimes, a will alone isn't enough.\nIn this episode, Simon sits down with Harley Wilkinson, Senior Associate in OMB's estates team, to break down what a grant of probate is and why it matters. They cover when executors are required to apply for one, how the process actually works, and the protection a court-issued grant provides if questions about a will's validity arise down the track.\nWhether you've been appointed as an executor or you're thinking ahead with your own estate planning, this one gives you a clear picture of what comes after the will is signed.\nKey themes: what a grant of probate is, when you need one, the application process, and why early advice saves time and money.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/DMtjlfblHbLmxBDQVkJcfGhUZORHBH3nZhmPZEPov5g/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYmZk/MzBkMGE5NTM5YmE3/ODdmNGNiNDU1YmZl/NTA4Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
