While it is legally possible to apply for probate without a lawyer in NSW, the process involves strict court requirements, legal documentation, and compliance obligations. Errors or omissions can cause significant delays, additional costs, or personal liability for the executor. For straightforward estates, some people do manage the process themselves. However, for most estates, engaging a specialist probate solicitor ensures the application is handled correctly and efficiently, protecting the executor from potential issues.
