Hello,
My client has obtained Probate in the UK through her accountant. The Will has the usual wording to incorporate the STEP provisions.
The Practice Directions here in the UK mean we can incorporate the provisions without the full wording, but some assets are in Australia. The South Australia Probate office says the Will needs to contain all the wording. They require the complete STEP provisions to be added to the UK Grant of Probate for the Will to be valid there for resealing.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a simple solution? Can they apply to a different Australian state that is more STEP-friendly?
Any advice gratefully received!
