When is the deadline for family provision application?
The catalogue records a 12 months period from The date of the death of the deceased person. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 12 months
- Trigger
- The date of the death of the deceased person
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- The Court may otherwise order on sufficient cause being shown, and an out of time application may also be made by consent of the parties to the proceedings. Not computed.
- The trigger is the date of DEATH, not the date of the grant of probate or letters of administration. s 58(1) confirms the application may be made whether or not administration has been granted, and s 58(3) provides that an application is taken to be made on the day it is filed in the Court's registry, which is the date that must be tested against the 12 months. Distribution of the estate raises separate protections for the legal representative under s 93, captured separately.
