How long does an executor have to settle an estate in Western Australia?

Probate is the legal process of proving that a will is valid. Once Probate is granted, an executor has 12 months to settle the deceased estate administration. If the executor does not settle the estate within this time frame, they may be liable to pay interest on any debts owing by the estate. In addition, the executor may be required to provide security for the payment of any debts owing by the estate. The executor may also be removed from their position by the court if they fail to settle the estate within the 12-month period.
