A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one. - Practice area: [Wills, Estates, Probate & Succession](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/wills-estates-probate-and-succession.md) - Jurisdictions: South Australia - AI level: Red. You write the text. The tool writes nothing into the document. Where permitted, it may check, clarify or collect data, and anything it checks or collects is verified. - Law stated as at: 2026-10-22 - Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the official form at courts.sa.gov.au and the 3 authorities it cites, for South Australia. ## When to use it Use when preparing a non-contentious grant in the Probate Registry of the Supreme Court of South Australia.

AI may index documents already on the file and list the published forms; the lawyer writes every affidavit, oath and application. **AI may:** - List the forms named on the court's page for this kind of grant, and mark which ones are already on the file - Check that names and the date of death are consistent across documents the lawyer has already prepared - Index the will, the death certificate and searches by date and source **AI must not:** - Must not draft an affidavit, oath, inventory, renunciation or any other sworn or signed part of the grant - Must not describe assets, liabilities or the will in words the lawyer has not settled - Must not sign, file or publish a probate notice **The lawyer checks:** - The current forms, and the right kit or practice direction, are used for this kind of grant - Names match the will, and the notice period and searches are done before filing - The current practice direction on generative AI, if any, has been checked before any tool is used ## Authorities - [Courts Administration Authority of South Australia, Probate](https://www.courts.sa.gov.au/civil-cases/probate/) - [Courts Administration Authority of South Australia, Probate forms](https://www.courts.sa.gov.au/civil-cases/rules-forms-fees/forms/probate-forms/) - [Succession Act 2023 (SA)](https://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/lz?path=/c/a/succession%20act%202023) ## Official form [Official form](https://www.courts.sa.gov.au/civil-cases/rules-forms-fees/forms/probate-forms/) ## Where this comes from The official form is published by courts.sa.gov.au; this page is a completion guide.
