Facts last verified on 3 November 2026

The Supreme Court of NSW says that since 1 August 2023 most applications for an uncontested grant must be filed online, through the NSW Online Registry (Supreme Court: Wills and probate).
At least 14 days' notice of an intended application must be given before the summons is filed. The notice is published on the Online Registry and can't be edited once published (court notice page).
From 1 July 2026 the filing fee for an uncontested grant depends on the gross value of the estate: nil under A$100,000, rising to A$7,399 for A$5 million or more. Publishing a notice is A$59 (fee schedule from 1 July 2026). Fees change each 1 July, so check the court's current schedule before filing.
The NSW Government says to apply within 6 months of the death, or give the court an explanation for the delay (NSW Government: get a grant).
NSW Land Registry Services lists form 02ND (Notice of Death) for joint tenants and form 03AE (Transmission Application) for land held solely or as tenants in common. The fee for each from 1 July 2026 is A$166.60 excluding GST (NSW LRS fees 2026-27).
Service NSW transfers vehicle registration after a death at a Service NSW Centre (Service NSW).

Time limits: flags, not calculators

The NSW Government's guide for executors says a family provision claim must be filed within 12 months of the date of death, and that an executor shouldn't distribute earlier than 6 months after the death and 30 days after a Notice of Intended Distribution is published (last verified 3 November 2026). Because a claim can still be made up to 12 months after the death, the add-on shows these as flags with their sources, not as calculated deadlines. Please confirm with a solicitor before distributing anything.

About the state points: Prepared from official public sources and self-checked on 3 November 2026. The add-on quotes the NSW Government and court pages rather than the Acts, and says so where it matters. This is record-keeping, not legal advice: confirm anything you rely on with the court or a NSW solicitor. The date tracker does not allow for public holidays.

Review status: Version 1.0. Prepared from official NSW sources and self-checked on 3 Nov 2026. Not part of the Complete Pack. Not reviewed by a solicitor. We will say so here once that changes.

Questions

Is the NSW Add-on part of the Complete Pack?

No. It is a separate product. The Complete Pack contains the Workbook, the Letter Pack and the Beneficiary Pack.

Do I need the Workbook as well?

The add-on works on its own, but it is designed to sit beside the Workbook, which holds the main asset, debt and contact records for the estate.

Does it tell me what the law requires?

No. It is a record-keeping template with links to the official NSW pages and the date we checked each one. For advice about your situation, speak to a NSW solicitor or NSW Trustee and Guardian.
