What happens when a Will doesn’t quite work the way the family intended?

In Episode 17 of the Vicca Law Podcast, we unpack Deeds of Family Arrangement, what they are, when they’re used, and how families can sometimes agree to change the distribution of a will without going to court.

Including a real example of a DIY will that accidentally repeated the same gift three times.

A fascinating conversation about the issues people don’t realise can happen in estate planning.

A Deed of Family Arrangement can be a great way to resolve estate disputes without going to court.

It gives families more control, can reduce costs, and often helps preserve relationships.

But it’s not a quick fix.

There are real legal and financial implications, especially when it comes to tax, stamp duty, and making sure everyone fully understands what they’re agreeing to.

And if it’s not done properly, it can create more problems than it solves.

Like most things in estate planning, it’s not just about the outcome, it’s about how you get there.

Considering a Deed of Family Arrangement? Make sure you understand both sides first.

The government sees a tax planning structure.
Everyone else sees a family.

The thing that most people get wrong about the proposed budget 30% tax on testamentary discretionary trusts? The practical outcome is the opposite of what the policy intended.

The wealthy will have a tax neutral outcome but our most vulnerable will have to pay a tax penalty.

The reason most people use a testamentary discretionary trust is not tax minimisation, but for much needed asset protection.

Under the proposed tax, any beneficiary earning less than $45,000 of income from other sources who needs the protection of the trust for their inheritance will be paying a penalty.

The asset protection benefits are so great that wealthy people will still use testamentary discretionary trusts, especially when the tax outcome is neutral.

In a world where everyday Australians rely on their inheritance to get into the housing market, it hardly seems fair.

When people think about estate disputes, they picture court.

Lawyers. Hearings. Long timelines.

But that’s not how most of these matters actually end.

Many are resolved privately, through something called a Deed of Family Arrangement.

It’s where everyone involved agrees to change how the estate is distributed,

👉 without a judge deciding the outcome.

Why do people choose this path?

Because court is:

➡️ Expensive
➡️ Time-consuming
➡️ Emotionally draining

And often, families would rather find a way forward than fight it out.

But it’s not as simple as just “agreeing.”

✔️ Everyone needs to be on board
✔️ The terms need to be properly documented
✔️ And there can be financial consequences if it’s done wrong

So while it can avoid court it still needs to be handled carefully.

Because the goal isn’t just to resolve the dispute, it’s to avoid creating a new one.

Want to avoid court? Make sure you understand your options first.

Fortnight wrap-up time, and this one has been a busy one. 👀

I’m recording from my podcast corner while getting ready for next month’s episodes focused on 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭.

Over the past two weeks:
✔️ Headed to Law Biz Con and caught up with some brilliant law firm owners
✔️ Had big conversations with estate planning colleagues about the budget changes and trusts
✔️ Sent out a special edition newsletter unpacking what it 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 means for testamentary trusts
✔️ And today? Five will signing appointments. A full day of helping people get important things sorted

If you've heard chatter about trust changes and wondered, “Wait… does this affect me?” Send me a DM and I can send through some details.

Now tell me, what’s been keeping 𝘺𝘰𝘶 busy this fortnight? 👇

20/05/2026

A lot of people assume, “If someone makes a claim, the estate just pays for everything.”

But it’s not that simple.

In Episode 16 of the Vicca Law Podcast, we break down what executors need to know when defending a family provision application, from legal costs to the responsibilities that come with managing an estate during a dispute.

A side of estate disputes that often gets overlooked.
