One of the first decisions that you need to make when considering your estate plan is who is the most suitable person to be the executor of your estate.

You need to pick someone that you trust and know will do what is required to ensure that your wishes contained in your will are fulfilled.

It is important to have conversations with your chosen executor about your wishes and to ensure that they know where your will is stored and any other important documentation that you may have.

It is important to keep the lines of communication open amongst family members or even close family friends so that you can ensure your wishes are taken into consideration in certain situations.

Nobody has a crystal ball, we are not able to know for sure whether or not we will be able to live in the family home our entire lives or whether we will need to move into a retirement village or nursing home. It is important to have conversations around your preferences now, because when the time comes you may not have the capacity to choose and the decision may be taken out of your hands.

In the event you lose capacity and are unable to make this decision, it is important to have an Enduring Power of Attorney in place and to ensure your attorney is aware of your preferences.

When applying to register a trademark you should conduct a search to determine whether there are any similar trademarks already registered.

If there are, you should check the classes of goods and/or services that are registered against that trademark to determine whether there are similarities.

If you apply for a trademark and there is a similar one already registered, during the opposition period, you may find that the owner of that trademark might oppose the registration of your trademark.

Common Trademark Infringement Risks

Using a name, logo, or branding element that is too similar to another business can expose you to infringement claims.

There are also risks of challenge if the goods and/or services attached to your trademark are similar to another.

Before launching a new brand, undertaking proper trademark searches can help avoid expensive rebranding and legal disputes later.

Do you have a trusted accountant, financial advisor or solicitor?

Do these professionals know your asset and liability position and have details of where all your important documentation is held?

At Ponting Hynes Lawyers as part of our estate planning practice we ensure that we obtain the details of all your assets and liabilities in our initial appointment. This means that when the time comes our team is ready to assist your executor with the estate administration without having to overload them with questions at a tough time.

It is important to ensure that your executor and family have the contact details of your accountant, financial advisor and solicitor. This can be done by writing down the details and leaving them in a safe place known to your family or providing a business card for each professional.

By ensuring your executor and/or family know who to contact when you are gone, this helps alleviate some of the stress during a tough time.

Trademarks come in many shapes and sizes. The most common one we find is a logo or a series of logos that a business as part of their brand to represent their product or service.

Trademarks can also consist of specific wording, shapes, colours or a combination of these.

Your brand is one of your most valuable business assets.

Part of your brand is your logo. This is what jumps out at people when they think of the product or service you provide.

Many business owners mistakenly believe registering a business name protects their brand.

In reality, trademark registration is what provides legal protection and exclusive rights to use your logo in the marketplace.
