DFG Legal can handle probate as we understand that it can be very difficult to navigate all of the requirements that can follow the death of a loved one. An application needs to be made to the Supreme Court of Western Australia for a grant of probate or administration.

A solicitor’s certificate is a legal requirement in Perth that should be obtained by guarantors before they are allowed to apply for a loan or guarantee a loan. It is a certification proving that a lawyer has provided independent legal advice to you with regards to a loan or a guarantee. This is also one of the services that DFG Legal offers.
