25.01.2022 There is a general expectancy that testators have a moral duty to provide for the proper maintenance of their spouse or de facto partner. The Court has explained this as providing what is necessary for the spouse to enjoy accommodation to the standard to which he or she is accustomed and, to the extent possible and having regard to the size of the estate, a fund to meet unforeseen contingencies. This is particularly so where the marriage or relationship has been lengthy. Gene...rally, the widow and children of the current relationship (if any) will stand favourably against the children of a former relationship. This is because the testator’s primary duty is perceived as being owed to his current family and the likelihood that the children of the former relationship may have already been provided for through child support payments. This of course is not always the case and each matter will turn on its own circumstances in consideration of a range of factors. A testator owes a moral duty to provide for his or her spouse and, as a general rule, a spouse will have priority over other entitled beneficiaries in a Will contest. Having said that, every case is different and will turn on its own unique circumstances. There are a range of factors a Court must consider when assessing the merits of a family provision claim. Your family circumstances should be assessed in light of these factors when preparing your Will to minimise the potential of a Will contest when you die. Strict time limits apply with respect to making a claim for family provision. If you feel you have not been given adequate provision from the Will of a family member or if you or someone you know wants more information or needs help or advice, please contact us on 07 3281 6644 or email [email protected].

10.01.2022 Uh-oh! Since trialing a mobile phone detection camera in July for the state, the Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland have monitored 2,788,168 Ve...hicles. 9,662 Mobile phone offences were detected and 1,722 seatbelt offences were detected since the trial began. Drivers won't cop fines during the mobile phone detection camera trial but it is likely to change mid-2021. From February 1 to July 31 2020, there were 3,059 infringements notices for driver mobile phone offences issued to 3,046 offenders across Queensland. So what do you think the fine should be for these offences?
