25.01.2022 Underquoting properties for sale is now a thing of the past, with the new laws introduced by the Victorian Government in May 2017. Real Estate Agents are prohibited from marketing a property at a price which the property is unlikely to sell. For example, if the sellers asking price is $550,000 the property cannot be marketed at $500,000. Contact our office and speak with one of our diligent solicitors about selling or purchasing a property.

23.01.2022 Most frequently asked questions

22.01.2022 Not sure how an Intervention Order may impact you after separation? Can I spend time with my children? Can I collect personal property from my home? Can I ask a family member, or member from the community, to contact my spouse for the purposes of mediating or negotiating parenting matters? These are some of the most common questions asked by clients. Our experienced solicitors at Zeno Lawyers will provide you with legal advice tailored to your unique situation, including talking through and exploring legal issues that may arise in the future.

21.01.2022 Have you been served with an Application and Summons for an Intervention Order? Are your children listed on the Application? The Application should not be ignored. Take note of the future Court date printed on the top right hand corner of the Application. It is strongly recommended you attend Court regardless of your work/social/family commitments. Do not ignore the piece of paper because its full of lies and you simply dont have time to entertain it. If your children are listed on the Application you should seek sound legal advice as it may possibly affect the time you spend with your children, including the imposition of certain restrictions, depending on the nature of the allegations.

21.01.2022 Over the past week, Federal and State Courts have implemented new policies and procedures in light of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We will provide our followers with a detailed update on Friday 20 March 2020 of the significant changes. This will be done in one post to avoid information dumping, that may create confusion and unnecessary anxiety for those who have matters currently before the Courts, as the policies are reviewed and changed from time to time.

21.01.2022 If you are living in Victoria and are renting, here is what you need to know: 1. There is a 6 months moratorium on evictions. This means if tenants cant pay their rent, they cant be evicted. 2. $420million has been allocated towards land tax relief for landlords. This will include a 25 per cent discount and deferral of payments to March 2021.... 3. Additional land tax relief will be offered to landlords if they are involved in a mediation process with tenants. This means if a tenant is experiencing significant hardship and broker a deal with their landlord through CAV or Small Business Commissioner. 4. Tenants experiencing financial hardship can apply to CAV or Small Business Commissioner to broker a deal to have their rent reduced. If the parties negotiate in good faith and the landlord agrees to reduce the rent BUT the tenant continues to suffer from financial stress (where the rent represents more than 30 per cent of your income) the State government has allocated $80million in rent assistance. To be eligible tenants would have to have gone through the negotiation processs, earn less than $100k per year and have less than $5k in savings. Up to $2000 will be made available to them to assist with their rental repayments. This money will be paid directly to the landlord and applies to residential tenants only.

17.01.2022 People diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimers disease, in most instances, no longer have the legal capacity to sign legal documents, including a Power of Attorney or a Will. Once a person is deemed not to have legal capacity the guardian, or next of kin, are required to make an application to VCAT for the appointment of a guardian or administrator. This will allow the guardian to make decisions in relation to the day-to-day welfare of their loved ones.

16.01.2022 The question asked by the majority of clients who are going through separation and dealing with matrimonial property is will she/he be entitled to 80 per cent of the asset pool? Our simple answer each case is unique. No case is the same. Property distribution is not as black or white as many people perceive it to be. The myth that the wife will receive 80 per cent is exactly that, a myth. There are many factors that need to be considered before determining what each spou...se is entitled to. At times it comes down to the size of the asset pool. Generally speaking, larger asset pools attract smaller percentage shifts, while smaller asset pools attracts larger percentage shifts. Make sure you obtain professional legal advice tailored to your family law matters. Contact Zeno Lawyers today to make an appointment to discuss your family law matters.

01.01.2022 Notice from the State Revenue Office for LMCTs "Licensed motor car traders (LMCTs) have until Sunday 30 September 2018 to voluntarily disclose any motor vehicles they have incorrectly obtained a duty exemption on over the last five years. By voluntarily disclosing any incorrectly obtained duty exemptions by Sunday 30 September 2018, LCMTs will reduce the amount of penalty tax payable to 5 per cent plus interest on any outstanding duty, from up to 90 per cent that would be pa...yable without a voluntary disclosure. Under the Duties Act 2000, the exemption from duty is only on demonstrator vehicles used exclusively for the purpose of the sale of another vehicle of the same class. Some LMCTs have incorrectly obtained a duty exemption for motor vehicles registered and/or used as service demonstrator or service loan vehicles. Motor vehicles, such as those used for a range of business or private purposes, including customer loans, service, workshop and deliveries, promotion and use by directors, employees and their family members are not exempt from duty."
