Urgent grants and time-sensitive estates

In some circumstances, estate matters require immediate legal action. Urgent grants or interim measures may be necessary where assets need to be accessed, preserved, or dealt with quickly to prevent loss, financial hardship, or operational disruption.

​

Crownmark Lawyers assists executors, administrators, and families in time-sensitive estate matters, providing prompt and practical advice where urgency is required. Our focus is on identifying the appropriate legal pathway and acting efficiently while maintaining compliance with court requirements.

​

Urgent estate issues may arise where funds are required for funeral expenses, dependants need immediate financial support, businesses must continue operating, or assets are at risk. In appropriate cases, we advise on applications for limited or urgent grants and on steps that may be taken before a full grant is issued.

​

We work with clients to assess urgency, prepare supporting material, and lodge applications as efficiently as possible. Where suitable, urgent estate applications may be handled on an agreed, fixed-fee basis through Crownmark Assured Pricing (CAP), providing clarity around scope and costs even in time-critical situations.
