25.01.2022 Its my money so why cant I leave it to whoever I like? See Karolina Rzymkowska', HKT Legal's head of Wills and Estate Planning, comments for latest SBS Insight regarding contesting Wills: http://www.hktlegal.com//its-my-money-so-why-cant-i-leave/... #SBS #SBSInsight #EstatePlanning #Wills #Trust #Law #InsightSBS

25.01.2022 Its a morbid topic but its practical advice. "Consider updating your wills and the need for Enduring Powers of Attorney /Guardianship before the Xmas holidays."

24.01.2022 Withholding Tax on Australian Property Transactions Amendments to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 impose obligations on purchasers to withhold 10% tax on the purchase of Australian real property valued in excess of $2 million from non-resident vendors. These amendments apply to contracts executed on or after 1 July 2016 in respect of acquisitions from non-resident vendors of:... 1.taxable Australian real property (including a lease); 2.an indirect Australian real property interest - such as the acquisitions of shares or units in companies or trusts owning Australian real estate; or 3.an option or right to acquire such property or such an interest. The amendments place the onus upon the purchaser to withhold the 10% tax in circumstances where the purchaser knows, or reasonably believes that the entity is a foreign resident or where the vendor requests the purchaser to provide a financial benefit outside of Australia. Certain acquisitions are exempt from the withholding obligations including: 1.transactions with a market value less than $2 million; 2.transactions conducted through an approved stock exchange or a crossing system; 3.a transaction where withholding has already occurred; 4.security lending arrangements; or 5.tranactions involving non-resident vendors who are subject to insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings either in Australia, or under a foreign law. The Australian Tax Office can provide either full exceptions to the withholding obligations by issuing a 'clearance certificate' or a variation to the purchaser's withholding obligations by issuing a 'notice of variation'. In all circumstances where the vendor has not provided either a clearance certificate the purchaser must withhold the relevant amount at settlement and pay the withheld tax to the ATO without delay. Failure to make payment to the ATO of the withholding tax will incur penalties equal to the amount that should have been withheld. We recommend that all contracts of sale for Australian property in excess of $2 million which are signed after 1 July 2016, incorporate special conditions which reflect the withholding obligations of the purchaser. HKT Legal is a proactive Perth based law firm providing common sense advice on a wide range of property law issues as well as other areas of law. If you have any queries regarding the operation of the amendments, the drafting of these special conditions or general property matters, please contact Christine Scott at [email protected] or (08) 9325 5700 or visit our website at www.hktlegal.com.au

23.01.2022 Congratulations. HKT Legal trained law clerk, Anna Dunn, admitted at Supreme Court WA today. Admission moved by HKT Legal associate Anna Lazarus!

22.01.2022 How is property divided after the end of a marriage? After children, perhaps the most pressing issue when a marriage comes to an end involves the division of property. The property the court is able to deal with must arise out of the marital relationship, as outlined in s 4(ca) of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (the Act). One of the things to keep in mind before further exploring the topic, is that a divorce order does not include the division of property.... #findlaw #divorce #property #law #AustralianLaw #couples #blog Read more:

13.01.2022 Do you or your business operate in conjunction with another person or business? Does your business have several partners, directors and shareholders? Whenever you decide to take up a project or business with any other party, it is prudent for the parties to record, as soon as possible, the terms of their agreement in writing.... Lack of a record of the agreement between the parties is often a problem if a dispute between the parties arises as to their individual entitlements and as to the succession or continuation of the project and business after they go their separate ways. Even where there is no dispute, but one party decides to sell their share or retire, it will be a much simpler transition it is advisable for the parties to have documents prepared which deal with dissolution of the joint venture or partnership. Whether you do or do not have an agreement in writing, we can assist you to work out what your legal entitlement is in relation to the assets and liabilities of your business. We can also draft an agreement for the parties, or assist you to negotiate the best outcome, if you are dissolving the partnership or one of the parties is no longer intending to take part in it. Importantly, we can assist without being directly and personally involved by helping you to draft correspondence to the other party or draft documents for you to send out yourself so that lawyers are not directly involved if that is your preference. We are focused on only providing services if we believe we can add value for you, and we believe based on our experience that some ad-hoc assistance from lawyers in this department can often result in savings for you and comfort that you will not be involved in unwelcome future disputation. Where to start? Contact Colin Touyz or Anna Lazarus on 9325 5700 or at [email protected] or [email protected]

03.01.2022 Due to the high emotion involved with family law matters, the law encourages parties to resolve disputes without having to resort to litigation. However, there may be some matters that cannot be easily resolved, therefore, necessitating the involvement of the courts. The litigation process and the roles of all parties differ in relation to family law matters when compared to other areas, and this piece will broadly outline the process.

01.01.2022 HKT Legal contributes to ongoing legal education and to assist law students in gaining practical work experience. Please meet Brittany who is completing a Juris Doctor at the University of Western Australia: Brittany says; "I have been offered work experience at HKT Legal since March. This has provided me with exposure to the legal workforce, including what to expect after graduation, and has allowed me to gain valuable practical legal experience. ... I enjoy my time at HKT Legal because it has given me the opportunity to observe and participate in some of the operations of a law firm, develop skills not taught at university and build my legal knowledge. I have particularly appreciated the approachability of the team at HKT Legal. Everyone always takes the time to discuss questions I have and work through them with me. For example, I had a question regarding an Enduring Power of Attorney and both Colin Touyz and Karolina Rzymkowska took the time to help me understand the legal concepts and application. I have been included in firm social events and everyone has shown an interest in my legal studies. Colin Touyz, Karolina Rzymkowska and Anna Lazarus have taken time to discuss university units with me and have provided valuable career advice. Since my first day I have felt welcomed as a member of their team. This position has broadened my perspective in relation to the challenges and rewards of a law career. I have developed a keen interest in commercial law and am very excited to graduate and commence my legal career. I am very grateful for this experience."
