Is your family trust really prepared for the future?

A family discretionary trust can be a valuable part of a family’s wealth, business and succession planning. But the way the trust is structured and what happens when key people die, retire or family relationships change can have consequences for generations.

A recent Queensland Court of Appeal decision, Staley v Hill Family Holdings Pty Ltd [2025] QCA 95, highlights what can happen when important governance and succession issues are not properly addressed.

The case raises some important questions for anyone with a family trust:
🔹 Who is the appointor, and who takes over when they die?
🔹 Who controls the corporate trustee?
🔹 Are the trustee’s powers and variation provisions appropriately structured?
🔹 Is the trust still suitable as family circumstances change?

A family trust is not a “set and forget” structure. Regularly reviewing how it is governed can help avoid costly disputes and ensure it continues to reflect the family’s intentions.

For most property buyers, settlement day means one thing: getting the keys to your new home. But when exactly can those keys be released?

With electronic settlements through PEXA, settlement and physical key handover are now two separate steps. There are also important legal issues around vacant possession, pre-settlement inspections, risk, and what happens if the vendor hasn't actually vacated.

Our latest blog looks at the new 2026 NSW Contract for Sale and Purchase of Land, what "vacant possession" really means, when risk passes to the purchaser, and what buyers can do if settlement doesn't go according to plan.

Buying or selling property? Understanding what happens between settlement and getting the keys can help you avoid an unwelcome surprise.
