If a Will was last known to be with the person who made it and can’t be found after they die, Queensland law presumes they destroyed it on purpose. Big Law’s article explains what that means, how the estate may then be divided, how the presumption can be challenged, and simple ways to keep your Will safe. This is general information, not legal advice.

A common belief: “A general power of attorney covers everything.”

A general power of attorney stops working the moment you lose capacity. An enduring power of attorney keeps working when it matters most.

Sylvia Lopez, Legal Practitioner Director at Big Law (Estate planning, Queensland), sets the record straight. If you’re unsure how this applies to you, a conversation is a good place to start. More at biglaw.com.au.

Sometimes a gift promised in a Will isn’t there when the estate is distributed. A home may have been sold to fund aged care, or an account closed. Big Law explains how this works under Queensland law, when protections apply, the strict time limits for beneficiaries, and how to reduce the risk in your own Will. This is general information, not legal advice.

Many Queenslanders assume their spouse or family can simply step in if something happens to them. Legally, that’s not how it works. Big Law explains the difference between a general and an enduring power of attorney, what happens if you lose capacity without one, and why it can’t wait until later. This is general information, not legal advice.

Title insurance is a non-compulsory, one-off policy that protects Queensland buyers and owners from certain unknown risks connected to the legal ownership of land. Unlike home and contents insurance, it focuses on the title and hidden matters affecting your property rights, such as unapproved building work or a neighbour’s shed over the boundary. For most buyers, the cost falls between a few hundred and a couple of thousand dollars.

In Queensland, the selling agent works for the seller, not the buyer. Buyers can waive their cooling-off rights without realising, simply by signing a contract prepared before auction or a waiver form attached to it. On the Big Law Podcast, Director Sylvia Lopez explains the limits of cooling-off periods, the hidden risks in finance clauses, and why an independent contract review before you sign matters.

Think powers of attorney are only something you need to worry about when you’re older? In the latest episode of Big Law: Legal Myths Exposed, Director Sylvia Lopez breaks down some of the biggest myths about powers of attorney in Queensland, including the common assumption that your spouse or children can simply step in and make decisions for you. Sylvia explains the difference between a general and an enduring power of attorney, and why planning ahead can give you greater control over who makes important decisions on your behalf.
