If the deceased person (a foreigner) died without will overseas, but has a real property in NSW. If the spouse, also a foreigner, the only person entitled to the estate lives outside Australia, a grant of administration may be made to the attorney (under Power of Attorney) of that person. Can the attorney be the wife's friend living in NSW? Does the attorney needs to fill and lodge Forms 111, 112, 117 and 119 by himself/herself. Will any experienced lawyer be willing to review notice and forms? I can pay for the services.
