You can apply outside this limitation period and the Court will grant leave if you can show that you will suffer hardship if leave is not granted.

14.01.2022 Inheritances and Gifts in Family Law The general rule in family law is that inheritances and gifts are treated as a contribution by the party who is related to the gift or bequest giver, and that they as a result are entitled to retain a greater portion of the couples property pool. However, a recent case has shown that the general rule does not always apply and has highlighted the importance of being very clear about intentions, when gifts and inheritances are to be given.... We recommend that whenever a gift or bequest of significant value is given, that consideration be given to recording who the gift or inheritance is made to, and why (especially if it isnt clear in the Will). This can for example be made in a statutory declaration that can be kept in private unless the need arises for it to be used. Schedule an appointment with one of our Family Lawyers to discuss your unique matter by calling 9226 3300 or visit http://ow.ly/7FHM50B87ad. #inheritance #farmingfamilies #propertylaw #wills #farmingwa #farmweekly #PatersonDowding #PatersonDowdingFamilyLaw
