When someone passes away, a death must be registered with the relevant state or territory registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages — typically arranged by the funeral director. Once registered, certified copies of the death certificate can be obtained, needed for notifying banks, super funds, and government agencies.
If the deceased had a Will, the executor administers the estate. Without one, the court appoints an administrator. Both may require probate through the Supreme Court. Our Beyond the Service guide covers the full checklist.
