24.01.2022 Just in case you were thinking about it, but haven’t done it yet ...

24.01.2022 Just so you know ..

24.01.2022 Watch this space:

22.01.2022 Our office door is closed, but we are are still working! Thank goodness we have all the technology we need to continue our excellent high standard of service to our clients. Thanks also to my amazing and wonderful staff Sally, Nancy and Tanneil for being so creative and supportive, and committed to continue delivering quality service to our clients! We will be able to continue assisting our clients with their estate planning, estate administration and estate litigation notwithstanding the unfolding COVID-19 disaster. We have thought through and planned how we can assist our clients with their wills even though we are not in the office! Thank you to German Shepherds of Australia for the lovely photo! #closethedoor

22.01.2022 Tanneil is one of the first group of Queensland solicitors to be admitted as a solicitor by video!

21.01.2022 So many of our estate planning clients want their bodies to be buried or disposed of as simply as possible. I know my mum would love this!

21.01.2022 Thank you to my good friend Louisa Way for sharing this powerful illustration of why The Will & All has chosen to close the door to our office, but to keep working from home. Not as gorgeous as a cute puppy, but please share this post far and wide spread the information. Let it go ... "viral"!

21.01.2022 Tempting though it may be to have a crack at writing your own will, this quote from one of Queenslands leading succession law barristers is bang on. The Will & All is still working with clients for estate and future planning, and also with court matters like the one reported in The Courier Mail this morning.

20.01.2022 Brain cancer is the top cancer killer of kids aged under 15. For Matt, finding a treatment is personal. Watch Race for a Cure at 8:30pm or on On Demand.

20.01.2022 Congratulations to Marrawah Law for what you have achieved in creating your dynamic and inspiring business! Happy Reconciliation Week!

18.01.2022 So, the Titles Office is doing its bit to drag us all into the modern era, always has been pretty innovative. Lets hope we see some action in relation to alternative arrangements for being in the presence of people wanting to make wills, powers of attorney, sign affidavits, etc.

18.01.2022 Are you a super sensational legal secretary or paralegal? Do you know one? Do you want to start 2021 as part of Cairns' most sensational (in our humble opinion) team? Please share or tag someone you think deserves to work with the best team in town. To apply, then either call or send an email together with the information set out in the attached link:... https://thewillandall.com.au/we-are-looking-for/

18.01.2022 Yarrabah News out now! http://chowes.com.au/category/newsletters/yarrabah-news/ :)

17.01.2022 Estate litigation is not a party where every guest gets a prize. The issues of legal costs in disputed matters is always difficult, and it is important to know that: "The Court has an absolute and unfettered discretion to award costs. They are not awarded by way of punishment of the unsuccessful party but to indemnify the successful party against the expense to which he or she has been put by reason of the legal proceedings" - Callaghan J, Re Sebasio (No. 2) [20202]

17.01.2022 Thats it for another week!

16.01.2022 Huge congratulations to our dynamite Tanneil! Your brain looks amazing!!!

16.01.2022 A thought provoking article by Yuval Noah Harari published by The Guardian

15.01.2022 Flashback to happier times just a few weeks ago, taking part in a panel at the FNQLA International Women's Day event. Talking with my hands, and pulling faces - how funny we are when we look at ourselves!

14.01.2022 Our policy is to assist clients negotiate acceptable outcomes rather than litigating. But sometimes litigation is the only solution.

13.01.2022 Hmmm - I must get onto this ...

12.01.2022 We are not regretting our decision to stay home where we can, especially after reading articles like this one. But we are still WORKING!!! We are talking to our clients, we are drafting wills and powers of attorney. We are transferring land to give effect to complex restructuring for estate planning purposes. We are assisting with superannuation claims and applications for grants of probate.... We are resolving estate disputes. We are having a little difficulty with our phone system atm, but hope to have that resolved quickly. If all else fails, please call 0447 660 622. See more

09.01.2022 Hooray! Tanneil now holds a practising certificate and can give legal advice! All that hard work and study, grit and determination - well done - we are proud of you Tanneil!

08.01.2022 Both Sally and Jeneve started their legal careers as judges associates. It’s a particularly special introduction to the legal profession, and an opportunity of which not many law graduates have the honour. We encourage law students to apply to the local higher courts judges - you won’t regret the year you could spend learning so much. #interaliacairns

08.01.2022 Some feedback from a client this morning: "Tanneil, Was just saying yesterday how something so difficult was made so easy by you and The Will and All.... Thanks" Proud of you Tanneil!

07.01.2022 At long last we finally have regulations that permit execution of estate planning documents by video link. Hooray! These regulations are effective to 31 December, and would be used in rare circumstances, but they do mean that wills and powers of attorney may be signed "remotely", thus avoiding personal contact during the times of pandemic. We are proud to have been involved in advising government about appropriate legislation.

07.01.2022 Beautiful flowers to welcome our new neighbours Mabuhai Cafe & Kitchen to the 'hood. The colour orange signifies success which we wish for Anna and her team.

07.01.2022 Disputes about funeral arrangements are more common than you might think, and they usually arise at a most emotional time. We are big fans of mediation as a way of resolving these issues, although it is not always successful, as in this case. We offer a mediation service which can be available at short notice for matters like this. The law is usually not complicated as the judgment demonstrates: https://archive.sclqld.org.au/qjudgment/2020/QSC20-388.pdf

06.01.2022 When you cant attend a funeral, you can still show your support to grieving family and friends in the following ways. Share our new guidelines here https://bit.ly/2RoeYBA We are here to help .

05.01.2022 It’s great to see awesome local talent putting in the hard yards, and achieving goals. We congratulate Ms Benn on her achievements and wish her a rewarding vocation.

05.01.2022 Here is a lovely story about the admission to the profession of a mum Sandra Creamer, her son barrister Joshua Creamer having the honour of "moving" her admission. A wonderful achievement for both! Just the thing to warm the cockles of our heart on a Friday afternoon. https://www.qlsproctor.com.au//indigenous-rights-activist/

05.01.2022 Never stop learning

04.01.2022 We welcome Tanneil to the profession! #cestbonrestaurant #botanicrepublic

04.01.2022 What could possibly go wrong? https://thewillandall.com.au/the-key-to-mitigating-elder-a/

03.01.2022 5:15pm, day two - I am looking forward to catching up with my study buddies Renee Bennett and Prue Poole for our ... interesting session. The pressure will be on!

02.01.2022 Heres a memory from 2012 when an article I wrote predicting that the courts power to authorise wills for mentally incapacitated people would be used to achieve more sophisticated wills than those that had been made under the newish (then) statutory innovation was published in this journal. We are passionate about creative estate planning that actually makes a difference, rather than churning out tired and non-beneficial outcomes. We think that life (and death) is more important than that!

02.01.2022 We are SO proud of Sally-Ann's amazingly fabulous Powerpoints for her presentation at the Legalwise conference in Cairns last week. Sally-Ann woke everyone up with her challenging and interesting informal wills workshop.

01.01.2022 This is a nice way to think about life and death:

01.01.2022 We have been staying home since early last week, which does come with its challenges, trying to work from home, but we are (mostly) keeping up with our workflow, thanks to the commitment of my brilliant staff, Sally-Ann, Tanneil, and Nancy.

01.01.2022 Surely the coolest New Year gift ever!
