Unlike some Australian states where deadlines have a bit of wiggle room, Queensland property contracts strictly enforce "time is of the essence." This means if a finance approval, building and pest condition, or settlement date is missed even by a few minutes, the other party can terminate the contract, keep the deposit and claim any shortfall on a resale of the property.

We protect your property transaction by monitoring every critical deadline, ensuring conditions are met, extensions are requested in time, and your contract stays on track from signing to settlement.

A common myth is that your Will covers everything you own. In reality, your Superannuation (and any life insurance held within it) is not naturally part of your "Estate."

Unless there is a valid Binding Death Benefit Nomination directing the trustee to pay the benefit to the member’s Legal Personal Representative or to other eligible beneficiaries, the trustee of your super fund decides who gets the money. They generally favour persons who were financially or relationally dependent on the deceased, such as spouses or minor children, meaning your will's instructions could be completely ignored if the paperwork isn't right.

Separated and suddenly cut off financially? You’re not alone.

One of the most common (and stressful) things we see after separation is a person being blocked from joint accounts or losing access to income — especially in family-run businesses.

What many people don’t realise is that you may be able to apply for spousal maintenance. Spousal maintenance is financial support from your former partner to help cover your living expenses while things are being sorted out.

It’s not automatic, and it depends on both parties’ circumstances… but if you’re struggling financially, it’s something you should look into sooner rather than later.

The earlier you get advice, the better your options.

Contact our Family Lawyer, Michelle Close at Lynch Law to find out where you stand and how we can help.

Separating? Super is Property: Get the Split Right

When couples separate in Queensland, superannuation is often one of the most significant assets in the property pool. Under the Family Law Act 1975, super can be split between parties as part of a property settlement, but it is not as simple as transferring money from one bank account to another.

A super split requires procedural steps, including obtaining up-to-date superannuation information, ensuring procedural fairness to the trustee, and preparing compliant orders or a binding financial agreement. Each super fund has its own requirements, and strict drafting rules apply. If the documents are not prepared correctly, the fund may refuse to implement the split.

Importantly, a superannuation split does not convert super into cash. The amount remains preserved in the receiving party’s super account until a condition of release is met.

Whether resolving your matter by consent or through the Court, careful management of superannuation is essential to avoid delay and unintended tax or compliance issues. Early advice can ensure your property settlement properly reflects the true value of your super entitlements and is implemented smoothly.
