When buying or selling a unit or townhouse in Queensland, statutory warranties are a critical part of the contract under the updated REIQ Contract (August 2025). These legally binding promises about the body corporate are separate from the Seller Disclosure Statement and cannot be avoided. Errors or omissions may allow buyers to terminate or claim damages, making early, accurate disclosure essential.

In Queensland, families may need to navigate legal steps including coronial processes, estate administration (as children cannot make Wills), management of assets or trusts, and potential compensation claims where a death involves negligence.

If you believe a deceased person hasn’t provided adequately for you in their Will, you may be able to contest it through a Family Provision Claim under Queensland law. Eligible claimants include spouses, children, former partners, or financially dependent persons. Claims must usually be made within nine months, and the court considers needs, relationships, and the estate. RHC Solicitors provides expert guidance, evidence gathering, negotiation, and representation to help achieve fair outcomes.

Buying property off the plan in Queensland can offer early access and potential savings, but it carries legal risks, particularly around sunset clauses. A sunset clause allows a contract to be terminated if settlement is delayed. New laws from 22 November 2023 restrict when developers can use these clauses for vacant land, strengthening buyer protections. Independent legal advice is essential before signing.

Family law disputes can be stressful and costly. In Queensland, mediation is usually required before going to court, except in urgent cases or where there’s abuse or family violence. Mediation is faster, less adversarial, and helps parties reach agreements, which can become legally binding through Consent Orders. Court is slower, costlier, and adversarial. Legal advice is strongly recommended. RHC Solicitors guide clients through mediation and court to achieve fair outcomes.

Specific performance is a court-ordered remedy requiring a party to carry out their contractual obligations, rather than paying damages. It is commonly used in property disputes where land is unique and money may not be adequate compensation.

A delayed settlement can have legal and financial consequences, including default interest, compensation claims or contract termination, even if caused by banks or third parties. Common causes include finance and valuation issues, paperwork errors, final inspection problems and linked transactions. In Queensland, REIQ contracts allow limited unilateral extensions and automatic short extensions for late signing, making early legal advice essential if timing is critical.
