17.01.2022 Successful Claim by a Son against his Fathers Estate! The decision of the Supreme Court of NSW in Theoctistou v Theoctistou [2013] NSWSC 1487 is a useful reminder of the principles which the Court applies in determining whether to make additional provision for an adult child out of a deceased estate. The deceaseds son, Anthony, who was 59 years old when his father died, was left $50,000 out of his fathers estate. The estate was valued, for probate purposes, at $919,532.... Anthony had three adult brothers all of whom also received $50,000 each. The remainder of the estate was left to Anthonys stepmother (and the deceaseds wife of 52 years). The Court decided that, in addition to the $50,000 which Anthony received out of the estate, Anthony should receive an additional $250,000 which was to be taken from the stepmothers share of the estate. The factors that counted in Anthonys favour included: 1. Anthony had large debts (just over $400,000 in total); 2. At the time of the hearing, Anthony worked as a part-time cleaner but, due mainly to a stroke he suffered in 2006, Anthony was unable to work full time; 3. There was a close and loving relationship between Anthony and his father; 4. The stepmother was in a much stronger financial position than Anthony; and 5. The stepmother had no debts of any significance. In granting Anthony an additional legacy of $250,000, the Court also ordered that Anthonys legal costs be paid out of the stepmothers share of the estate. The Courts decision provides a useful summary of the principles which are applied in assessing a claim under the Succession Act 2006 (NSW) particularly where the person making the claim is an adult child. If you wish to discuss or update your will or estate planning, or wish to bring or defend a family provision claim, please contact Steve McAuley of our office on 9633 1826 or [email protected].

However, there are circumstances where a Court may vary or set aside final property orders made pursuant to s.79 of the Act.

10.01.2022 Despite the Court finding that a ski collision was caused by the negligence of the ski instructor, the Court ruled in favour of the defendant, Perisher Blue Pty Limited. The Court ruled that skiing is a ‘dangerous recreational activity’ as defined by section 5K of the Civil Liability Act (2002) NSW and as a result Perisher Blue Pty Limited had established its defence under section 5L of the Civil Liability Act. #sportslaw #auslaw http://mcauleyhawach.com.au//skier-injured-by-ski-instruc/
