Giving money to family could affect your Age Pension.

Helping a child with a house deposit, paying for a family member’s expenses or transferring money overseas may seem like straightforward acts of generosity, but Centrelink’s deprivation rules can affect your pension entitlements.

Our latest blog looks at Paget and Secretary, Department of Social Services [2023] AATA 4215 and explores when a transfer may be treated as a deprived asset, including the important concept of “adequate consideration in money’s worth.”

Read this week’s blog to understand what retirees and their families should consider before transferring assets or money.

🏗️ Did you know a construction crane swinging over your property could be a legal issue?

Most people think easements only apply to driveways or drainage, but they can also extend into the airspace above your land.

📖 Read this week's blog to learn about your rights, compensation, and why early negotiation is key.
