A common belief: “Executors can share the estate straight away.”

Distribution comes at the end. All assets should be accounted for, the time limits for contesting the Will should pass, and tax matters should be finalised first.

Ben Wright, Director at South Geldard Lawyers (Wills and estates, Queensland), sets the record straight. If you’re unsure how this applies to you, a conversation is a good place to start. More at southgeldard.com.au.

Separation can be a difficult time filled with mixed emotions, with sudden decisions about the home, the children and the bills. South Geldard Lawyers’ list of dos and don’ts covers mediation, formalising parenting arrangements, following orders, relocating or travelling with children, and the time limits for property settlement.

Being named as an executor is often a great honour, but it comes with legal duties, and executors can be held personally liable for mistakes. South Geldard Lawyers’ guide sets out six key responsibilities, from applying for probate to distributing the estate, and two rights executors have: to apply for commission and to decline the role. This is general information, not legal advice.

After a death, families are often unsure what to do first. South Geldard Lawyers breaks estate administration into three steps: finding the Will, identifying the assets, and working out whether probate is needed. A small estate may not need probate, while shares, property or significant bank funds mean you will likely need it. If there is no Will, it is best to speak with a lawyer.

Under the Fair Work Act, an employee may have a workplace right to make complaints or inquiries about their employment, and a complaint does not need to be proven to count. Employees can still be performance managed, but the complaint and the performance concerns should be dealt with separately, with evidence.
