VerifiedHi! My name is***** a solicitor in Australia, and I’m happy to help you.
Once probate has been granted, the state trustees will hold the property in their name for a period of six months or sell it and then hold those funds. However if the requirement of the will is the transfer of the property, the property will be transferred after six months in accordance with the probate regulations.
