The performance of a company can be put in jeopardy when disputes between directors or with shareholders of the business arise. While some disagreements can be resolved through mediation and other dispute resolution procedures, others may be irreconcilable and end in either costly court action, the winding up of the enterprise, or both.

Who would speak for you if you could not speak for yourself? It is an uncomfortable question, but answering it properly can save your family confusion, conflict and rushed decisions.

Our guide on advance health directives covers common questions we hear, including what the document does, when it operates, and how it works alongside other planning arrangements. For many people, it is not just about medical treatment preferences. It is about making sure your wishes are known and your decision-making framework is clear.

If you are reviewing your estate planning or helping a parent get documents in order, we can guide you through the process and make sure everything is prepared correctly.

Most people don't find out they've been left out of a Will until weeks after the funeral. By then, the clock has already been running.

In Queensland, two dates matter — and both are counted from the date of death, not from when you saw the Will.

Six months: give the executor written notice that you intend to make a family provision claim. This helps stop the estate being distributed before your claim is on the table.

Nine months: file your application in the Supreme Court of Queensland. Under the Succession Act 1981 (Qld), applications made after nine months need the court's permission to proceed — and permission is discretionary, not automatic.

Here's the part that gets overlooked: leaving it until month eight doesn't just risk the deadline. It leaves no room to negotiate. Most family provision matters in Queensland resolve without a hearing, but only when there's time to talk properly.

If you're wondering whether you have a claim — or whether you've already left it too long — a conversation early gives you far more options than a conversation late.

Property settlement in Queensland changed significantly with the 2025 family law reforms, and those changes continue to matter for separating couples. In our article, we explain how the law now places clearer focus on issues including family violence and even arrangements involving pets.

A year on, this is practical guidance we still want our clients to understand before negotiating or formalising a settlement. If you are unsure how these reforms may affect your property division, our article is a helpful starting point.

We also offer a free 60-minute consultation, so you can get tailored advice on your circumstances and your next steps with confidence.

Insolvency and bankruptcy are not the same.

Insolvency means you cannot pay debts when they fall due. Bankruptcy is a formal legal process for individuals, with consequences for assets, credit, travel and company directorships.

Other options may be available, including Debt Agreements and Personal Insolvency Agreements. Companies follow different insolvency rules, and separation can add complexity to property settlements.

Acting early can help preserve your options. Facing financial stress? Book a consultation with Frigo James Legal today: https://www.fjlegal.com.au/contact-us/

Have you been told to 'just go to mediation' even though the situation feels unsafe, unfair or impossible to manage? Mediation can be useful, but it is not the right fit for every family law matter.

In our article, we explain some situations where mediation may not be appropriate, including serious power imbalance, family violence or where one person is not properly disclosing finances. We also outline what other options may be available so you are not forced into a process that does not protect you.

If mediation does not feel workable, talk to us about a safer and more effective path forward.

Separated and still sorting out property? One of the biggest mistakes we see is people assuming they can deal with the financial side later, only to find out strict time limits apply.

In our guide on property settlement time limits, we explain that the deadline can depend on whether you were married or in a de facto relationship, and missing it can make the process more difficult, expensive and uncertain. Getting advice early can help us protect your position, identify the asset pool and work out the right next step.

If you are unsure where you stand, speak with us before time becomes the problem.

Losing someone you love is difficult enough without facing uncertainty about their estate.

If a Will doesn't reflect your relationship with the deceased, your contributions to their life, or your financial needs, it can feel both shocking and deeply unfair.

Perhaps you cared for them for years. Perhaps you were financially dependent on them. Or perhaps you were left out of the Will entirely.

What many people don't realise is that Queensland law recognises that proper provision is not always made. Under the Succession Act 1981 (Qld), certain eligible people may be able to contest a Will by making a family provision claim.

These claims are designed to ensure that adequate provision is made for eligible family members and dependants where the circumstances justify it.

Importantly, strict time limits apply. In most cases, you have only 9 months from the date of death to commence proceedings, which is why obtaining legal advice as early as possible is critical.

If you'd like to discuss whether you may have a claim, we're here to help. Talk to us today. Call:(07) 5621 3799 or visit: www.fjlegal.com.au
