will

My brother and I are executors for my mother's will. She died recently. Her estate is small. We do not require probate in Victoria. A certain bank will allow us to open an "Estate of" account, so that we can execute her will. However, when prepared, my mother used my middle name in the will for...

Hi All, This question may have been asked before but I couldn't see anything like it in the search I made, so. If I marry, my wife inherits my house upon my passing automatically. I think that's how it works, but. Can I write a will in such a way that, if she is not a 'joint tenant' on the Title...

Hi all, So I was pulled over 2 days ago and returned a reading of .202. Driving was a stupid decision and I can't stop thinking about what I've done. I'm worried about the penalties. I haven't been charged with any serious offenses for over 10 years, which is why I'm so disappointed in...

Hi, We have a relative (originally a British Citizen) who moved to Australia approximately 20 years ago and lived until recently in Queensland. I believe that he became an Australian citizen. He lived with a partner for many years but they split up approximately 2 years ago. She is an...

I have been awarded a new job in Qubec Canada. It will be a chance of a new life and new start. I am currently in the process of a divorce and already have a CSA payment schedule. There are consent orders already made for the children so that is not an issue. My questions are 1. What will happen...
