Advise of completion of administration of deceased estate
As a personal representative of a deceased estate, you must notify us of the completion of the administration of the estate within one month if the estate continues to hold land.
There may be penalties if you fail to notify us within this time.
To notify us you should lodge our Deceased estate — commencement or completion of administration (LTX-Trust-18) form.
Please refer to the form's explanatory notes for a list of when we consider administration is complete. You should seek legal advice if you are unsure whether you have completed the administration stage.
