11.01.2022 Commercial Property Obligations - COVID Affected or Otherwise Whilst we have been overwhelmed with information about COVID and its impact on our daily lives, many commercial property owners, their agents and tenants seem oblivious to their legal obligations in the event of a sale, lease or sub-lease of their commercial property. The seller of a commercial property, which is subject to a lease, will invariably enter into the REIQ commercial contract which has been endorsed by ...the Queensland Law Society. Unfortunately, most sellers and their agents have scant regard for the terms of contract. In particular, clauses dealing with assignments of covenants and warranties, bonds, commercial tenancy provisions, commercial tenancy warranties as contained in the contract place strict obligations on the seller. For example, if a commercial contract does not disclose that the current tenant is in arrears of rent or has not paid a bond or is in breach of the lease in some other particular, the buyer may rely on that inaccuracy to terminate the contract. Tenants must be aware that they have no right to assign or sub-lease their premises unless they obtain the landlords consent. To proceed with an assignment or subletting of premises without the landlords consent is a breach of the current lease and could impact on the tenants ability to continue to operate from those premises and could well lead to the tenancy being terminated by the landlord. Whilst a rent reduction enjoyed by a tenant as a result of COVID is not technically a breach of the lease, most buyers of commercial properties will undergo due diligence investigations and if the tenant has been granted COVID relief the buyer invariably will not proceed with the contract. There is no standard term in the REIQ Commercial Contract which allows this, however, most Commercial Contracts now contain a specially drafted condition which would allow a buyer to terminate the contract if due diligence investigations are unsatisfactory. If you have any queries in relation to your obligations as owner, landlord, tenant or sub-tenant, we are able to assist you with your enquiry.

04.01.2022 We need you to CHECK YOUR WILL! We are in the process of writing to all of our clients for whom we have prepared wills with Testamentary Discretionary Trusts in the past. We are attending to this task because the Federal Government has recently legislated changes to the way in which income from Testamentary Discretionary Trusts will be treated. Prior to the changes children who are beneficiaries of the trust were allowed claim the tax free threshold of approximately $20,000....00 (including other concessions) on income received from the trust in each financial year. The narrowing of the rules changes the way trust income is taxed in certain circumstances and reduces the tax free component to just $416.00! Whether you have prepared your will with us or with another firm we strongly encourage you to check your will and ensure that this significant advantage is not lost.

02.01.2022 Times are constantly changing. Ensure yourself and your family are always protected. Make sure you have a Will and Enduring Power of Attorney. If you have these documents, get them out and check that they are still valid and correct to ensure that you wishes will be followed. Call us now on 1800 000 993 if you need any help putting these crucial documents in place or you would just like them reviewed.
