Thank you Angel and AMA team for notarising couple of documents. I found Angel Ma to be highly experienced, skilled and knowledgeable. In the discussion she mentioned about the Hague convention between the 2 countries and legalisation of documents which was very informative. This is definitely going to save the time and extra unnecessary process.

Angel and her team was exceptional throughout my property sale. This was a complex sale from end-to-end (candidly speaking, even till the last minute) with multiple legal, tenancy, and settlement risks, and Angel’s experience and judgment were absolutely critical to achieving a successful outcome I would have probably dreamed of if not for her.
She consistently provided clear, practical advice grounded in deep industry knowledge, helping me navigate difficult decisions with full confidence and no regrets. Her attention to the very details, calm approach under pressure, and ability to anticipate issues before they became problems made the entire process feel controlled and seamless, even when things could have gone off the rails easily.
If you’re looking for a conveyancer who is genuinely senior, strategic, and has your best interests front and centre, I can’t recommend Angel highly enough. Wish you continued success and upcoming ventures, Angel 😊

AMA provided a professional and seamless service from the moment they answered the phone, until the final document was signed in their office. The communication was clear throughout the process, and the tone from the start was warm and engaging, not the typical "what do you want/we are doing you a favour" common response felt from other firms. Highly recommended. Thank you again Angel Ma and team.

遗 嘱 认 证 定 义
什么是遗嘱认证（Probate）？什么时候必须申请？
简单说，Probate（遗嘱认证）是一份由维州最高法院（Supreme Court of Victoria）盖章签发的正式许可书——一张写在法院抬头信纸上、带法院印章的官方文件。
当亲人过世后，银行、土地登记处、养老金机构没办法只凭手上一张遗嘱就把资产交出来（他们无法判断这份纸上的遗嘱是不是真的、是不是最新的、有没有被人修改过）。所以法律要求这些机构在放款前，必须看到法院已经核对过的那份文件——那份文件就是 Probate。
法院在颁发 Probate 之前会替家属核对两件事：
- ① 这份遗嘱是真的 · 确认它是逝者本人生前亲笔签署的合法版本，没有伪造、没有被后来的新遗嘱替换。
- ② 授权执行人 · 正式赋予遗嘱里指定的执行人（Executor）代表逝者行事的合法身份，可以过户房产、提取账户、清算投资、分配遗产。
换句话说，拿到 Probate 就相当于拿到一把银行 · 房产局 · 法院都认可的"总钥匙"——没有它，逝者名下的很多资产是解锁不了的。
那什么时候必须申请？取决于逝者名下的资产组合——下方左右对照说明。
✓需要 Probate 的情形
- 逝者名下有不动产
- 单独账户金额超过银行 / 养老金机构的内部释放门槛（各机构不同）
- 股票账户、单独车辆、养老院押金等
−可能不需要 Probate
- 所有资产以联名持有（Joint Tenants）形式
- 全部为养老金（Super）并已指定具约束力的受益人

常 见 问 题
关于墨尔本遗嘱认证 Probate 的 5 个常见问题
以下是 AMA 律师团队被最多墨尔本华人家庭问到的 Probate 相关问题。若您有其他疑问，欢迎直接联络我们咨询。
没有 Probate 遗嘱可以直接执行吗？
不建议。如果逝者名下有房产 · 银行账户超过 5 万澳元 · 保险理赔或超级年金，几乎所有机构都要求执行人出示 Grant of Probate 才会解冻或转账。
若强行绕开 Probate 分配遗产，执行人可能被受益人 · 债权人或税务局追偿。
如果逝者没有留下遗嘱怎么办？
这种情况需要申请 Letters of Administration（无遗嘱管理书） 而非 Probate。法院会指定符合资格的近亲（通常是配偶或子女）作为管理人，并按《维州继承法》法定顺序分配遗产。
无遗嘱继承的分配比例常常与家人意愿不符，因此我们强烈建议尽早立遗嘱。
遗嘱在国内公证 · 澳洲能直接用吗？
需要专业评估。大陆 · 港澳台公证遗嘱能否在维州最高法院被采信，取决于遗嘱形式 · 签署程序 · 是否合乎当地法律。
AMA 律师团队会审核原件 · 办理 NAATI 认证翻译 · 必要时协调国内公证处补充证明材料，确保 Probate 顺利通过。
Probate 需要多长时间？费用大概多少？
典型墨尔本 Probate 案件从递交申请到获得 Grant 一般需要 6–12 周，加上后续分配总耗时 6–12 个月。
律师费与法院费用因遗产复杂度而异，AMA 会在首次会谈后提供透明的费用估算，绝不隐藏收费。
境外亲属如何参与 Probate 流程？
身在中港澳台或其他海外的受益人，可通过 视频会议 · 电子签署 · 领事馆公证 三种方式远程参与。
AMA 团队全程用中英粤三语协调，无需海外亲属亲自飞往澳洲即可完成签署与授权。
