21.01.2022 In Australia, a person is theoretically free to choose who should benefit from his or her estate. Testamentary freedom is a well-founded principle. This principle however may be subject to community expectations of moral obligations. Consequently, in some circumstances a Court may order that the terms of a Will be varied to satisfy a claim by an eligible person. These claims are commonly known as family provision claims.... Alternatively, there may be a mutual agreement between the beneficiaries of an estate to vary the terms of a Will, for any number of reasons. Variations to a Will can be made legally effective by the parties entering a deed of variation or deed of family arrangement. To find out more, read our article below... https://www.garlandwaddington.com.au//VaryingthetermsofaW/

19.01.2022 It's fair to say that most of us have never experienced the degree of uncertainty felt across the globe due to the outbreak of COVID-19, with the full force and gravity of the virus yet to hit home for many. At GW, our absolute priority is to protect the health and wellbeing of our staff, clients and visitors by upholding existing workplace health and safety policies and implementing additional measures to minimise risk and optimise the safety of our people. If you are in se...lf-isolation due to recent travel, or are unwell, we will happily reschedule your appointment, or provide flexible on-line or telephone appointments. We trust that by working together and taking a unified approach, we can all play a part in minimising the spread of the coronavirus. Finally, we have put together some legal information to help employers and employees during these difficult times, and a very brief overview of the Government's economic response aimed at promoting business continuity during the crisis, and helping the economy recover afterwards. https://www.garlandwaddington.com.au/n/Coronavirus%20(COVI/

17.01.2022 The coronavirus (COVID-19) presents numerous challenges for individuals and businesses, amongst them, the legal rights and responsibilities under existing contracts during a pandemic such as this. Parties to a contract that are facing difficulties in meeting their obligations may be anxious about their legal position in such circumstances. Some contracts may provide specific rights for parties to delay performance of their obligations or terminate a contract due to certain co...nditions, however relevant terms must be carefully scrutinised before taking such action. In this article we discuss contractual obligations in the wake of COVID-19. Click on the link below to find out more... https://www.garlandwaddington.com.au//Contractualobligati/

14.01.2022 Subdivision, also known as 'reconfiguring a lot' generally involves the partition of a parcel of land into smaller portions. Once land is subdivided, a ‘title’ is created for each new portion, which can be separately sold and transferred. If you are contemplating purchasing land specifically for development, due diligence should be carried out to ensure it is suitable for the intended purpose and the proposed use is permitted. An experienced property and construction lawyer ...can assist with this process.

14.01.2022 There is much to consider when buying or selling a business - including what happens to the employees of the enterprise once it is sold? The sale of a business can be a curious time for existing employees and the incoming business owner it is likely that neither of the parties have previously worked together and are unfamiliar with each other’s skills, leadership and expertise. Personalities and attributes aside, it is important for the parties to a business transaction to ...understand their legal rights and responsibilities regarding the existing employees and the financial cost of terminating and / or transferring employees. This article explains the employee position when a business is sold in its entirety (as opposed to the sale of shares in a company - which would result in a change of fundamental ownership but not affect the employee arrangements of the business.) https://www.garlandwaddington.com.au//Employeeentitlement/

06.01.2022 Buying and selling real estate utilising an option arrangement has gained popularity in recent times, particularly in a rising property development market. Option deeds are predominantly used for the acquisition of sites for future development, and can be drafted to accommodate a wide variety of circumstances. The flexibility an option agreement can provide is ideal for developers wishing to conduct due diligence before committing to a purchase or the entity to purchase, and ...assists in the management of cashflow by securing a price for a property now, with funding arrangements to be put in place. An option deed can also provide a land owner with control over the timing of the sale of a property (e.g. in which financial year the sale will take place). This article explores the concept of an option agreement, the key terms of the option deed and how the arrangement operates. https://www.garlandwaddington.com.au//Buyingandsellingund/

05.01.2022 If you are a director of a company entering into a commercial or retail lease, the landlord will require you to give a personal guarantee of the company’s obligations under the lease. In such cases, directors should fully comprehend the extent of the guarantee they are providing and obtain appropriate legal advice to minimise financial exposure.

05.01.2022 Disputes over a deceased’s estate are complex, emotionally draining and may risk depleting assets that would otherwise be available for distribution to beneficiaries. This is why having a valid Will and a Binding Death Benefit Nomination (BDBN) makes good sense. A Will determines how your estate is dealt with after you die. A Will can appoint a trusted person to administer your estate, nominate guardians for young children and direct who will receive your assets after your de...ath. Read our article below to find out why it is important to have a valid Will and a Binding Death Benefit Nomination. https://www.garlandwaddington.com.au//%E2%80%98Secret%E2%/

03.01.2022 It is important to understand the interplay of the laws governing superannuation, tax and succession when planning your estate. Appreciating how these laws interact can help avoid some common pitfalls in estate planning and may have significant impact on the net (after-tax) proceeds received by your beneficiaries. When we refer to ‘death benefits’ we generally mean the aggregate of a deceased person’s superannuation account and life insurance policies.... These funds are treated in a very specific manner after a person dies. To find out more, read our article below. https://www.garlandwaddington.com.au//Deathandsuperannuat/
