McMullen Lawyers & Conveyancers

17/08/2026

As estate planning lawyers, we confront the legal and practical aspects of planning or the orderly transition of peoples assets to their chosen beneficiaries after they die. We also help people put in place representatives who can step in if they lose their mental capacity. In doing much of this work we are educating people about the legal mechanisms available to them.

It's hard to talk about, but voluntary assisted dying is seen by many people with terminal illnesses as a privilege that gives them the opportunity to structure the end of their lives and help their family and friends prepare their grief.

Lets talk about it.

In life as in art, dancer Roz Hervey wanted to push boundaries. She choreographed her own death, and in her final moments made an impassioned plea.

CONFIRMED!
From 1 September 2026 paper certificates of title become redundant.
This means you no longer have to store them safely, or provided them when you are dealing with your property.
Is that safe? Yes! The lawyer, conveyancer, or bank dealing with a title must take strict measures to verify the identity of the person and assess their right to deal with the title to make sure they are the right person.
If you have questions, please get in touch.

Your house title may be worthless!!!

From 1 September 2026, Certificates of Title are being made redundant.

This is great for 2 reasons:

1. You will no longer have to keep a piece of blue A4 paper safe (and no more lost title problems delaying settlements of sales); and
2. Your sale can be done using the new electronic conveyancing system which greatly reduces the time it takes for title registration

Of course, you can keep you paper title for sentimental reasons, but after 1 September 2026 it will be worthless - in a good way.

A bit of Point to Pinnacle fun with some of the team.

Like last year, on Saturday 11 October, we bought a table to support fundraising for MND. The fundraiser was organised by the Masonic Medical Research Foundation and raised $20,000 for the fight against MND. Like many people we have a connection to the 'Beast'. Our connection was through one of our lovely clients who fought so bravely. We can only hope that in the future a cure is found meaning that the Beast can be brought under control.
