VIC Time Limit for Obtaining Probate?

[Katew89]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a time frame in which probate needs to be obtained by?

Hi check out this section that provides that the court has power to summon an executor to prove probate or do other things where they neglect to prove probate within 6 weeks from the date of death of the testator to show cause why this hasn't been done: ADMINISTRATION AND PROBATE ACT 1958 - SECT 15Executor etc. neglects to prove, renounce or bring in the will
