• Week 1: find the will, get certified death certificates, secure the home and assets, start a log
• Weeks 2-4: tell the ATO and other organisations, list every asset and debt, open an estate account, note the tax returns
• A key-dates table: probate (NSW, 6 months), family provision claims (NSW, 12 months), the 2-year main residence CGT window, and the estate's first 30 June

A4 PDF, 1 page, as at 27 October 2026. Facts checked against the ATO, the Supreme Court of NSW and Legal Aid NSW.
