Is the money you received from family members treated as a gift or a loan in your property settlement?

Case law tells us that when seeking to have a loan recognised, it would be more likely treated as a liability where there's evidence of a written agreement, where the written agreement specifies the duration, where there's evidence of repayments, or if there's a mortgage or charge secured against property that was, say, purchased with those loaned monies.

If you received money during your relationship and are thinking about separating, now would be a good time to contact us here at Turnbull Hill Lawyers for advice specific to your circumstances.

What happens if the original of a Will is missing after the deceased's death? It does happen. High anxiety, fingers are pointed… but not all is lost.

What happens if both owners die at the same time or it cannot be determined their order of death? I'll give you an example. Me and my wife, let's say we don't have any children, let's say we own a property jointly, let's say we both die in a plane crash and it cannot be determined the order of our deaths, let's say in my Will I leave my assets to my brother, let's say in her Will she leaves her assets to her sister. Who gets what? Does my brother get the house or does her sister get the house? Luckily this has been resolved by Section 35 of the Conveyancing Act in New South Wales that says that as to any matters determining property, the order of death is the younger is deemed to survive the older.

The two most important things an employer can have when managing employees is knowledge and the ability to know when to use it.

I often get asked whether there is a time limit by which an executor has to release a copy of a Will of a deceased person to a beneficiary. The short answer is no, there is no time limit.
