Our website has more information on this issue, and we are available to assist with legal advice concerning this issue. https://www.abc.net.au//elder-abuse-report-finds-/12589722

16.01.2022 Customer Review: Every single client is important us, no one is "just a number" at ORG.

16.01.2022 It is very common for people to not proceed with a claim against an estate as they are concerned about the cost. In the following article we clear up any concerns about the costs involved in contesting a will. https://orglaw.com.au/how-much-does-it-cost-to-contest-a-w/

12.01.2022 Elder Abuse is becoming more prevalent in today's society as people are living longer and become more dependant on a loved one, carer or family friend. In this video our Director, Christopher O'Connor explains how to identify Elder Abuse and what actions you should take. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_783jVo6NU

12.01.2022 Interesting article: "He is not dead, he is just meditating" a Novel Approach to Avoiding Inheritance Law Refusing to acknowledge a persons death is not a realistic means to defeat the operation of succession law. The issues surrounding the Frozen Guru and his sect could have been avoided if proper legal advice and estate planning had been implemented before his death (or rather, ongoing deep meditation as his followers insist).... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-40509494 See more

02.01.2022 Like Cassandra Seaborn mentions in this article, when we are undertaking an estate administration, we encounter similar issues where we have to find beneficiaries, either mentioned in wills or as a result of the law of intestacy , and tell them they stand to inherit money/assets. This is why it is so important to ensure you have a current will in place. The will doesnt have to be complicated but it ensures that your estate goes to your chosen beneficiaries, whether that is family, friends or charitable organisations. It is important to let someone know that you have a will and where it is being held. Read in ABC News: https://apple.news/AulCGIC3VQkmH46KB4ttZiA

02.01.2022 Will validity disputes are inherently complex, in the following article we include a brief summary of the various will validity challenges. A will can be invalid for a number of different reasons, for example: The willmaker didnt have mental capacity at the time of making the will (Lack of Capacity) The will was made under coercion or duress (Undue Influence). The willmaker didnt know and approve the contents of the will when making it (Knowledge and Approval).... The will was made under fraudulent circumstances.https://orglaw.com.au/what-makes-a-will-valid/ See more

01.01.2022 We offer a free initial, 20 minute consultation. If you are unsure if you have a case to contest a will, call us today, you have nothing to lose.
