Find a Will in NSW Trustee & Guardian’s extensive database if you’re named in a Will, are a relative, have claim to the estate or may do if the Will is invalid.
Being named a beneficiary of a Will means you are included in the Will of someone who has passed away and have been left a gift or benefit from their estate.
If you are appointed Executor of someone’s Will, they have requested you to legally administer their estate and carry out any directions when they pass away.
