A little change of scenery for Tim Downie last week 🎡

Tim, one of our Directors and a regular on the FIVEAA Legal Show, joined Graeme Goodings for a live broadcast from the Royal Adelaide Show .

As always, Tim spoke about some of the latest legal issues making the news, answered questions from listeners and helped unpack what the law can mean in everyday situations.

We always enjoy being part of local South Australian events, and the Show was a great backdrop for the week’s discussion.

We’re still waiting to hear whether Tim followed the broadcast with Dagwood dog and a ride on the Ferris wheel... 🎠

Tune in to the 5AA Legal Show every Thursday at 10.30am.

What does ‘probate’ actually mean?

It’s one of those legal terms many people first come across after someone has died.

Probate is a grant from the Court that confirms a will is valid and gives the executor authority to administer the estate.

Depending on the estate, this can be an important step before assets can be collected, debts paid and the estate distributed.

Not every estate needs probate. If you’ve been named as an executor and you’re unsure whether probate is needed or what to do next, our Wills & Estates team can help guide you through the process.

Did you know that an estimated 15.5 million Australians may not have made a binding death benefit nomination for their super?

Super doesn’t automatically form part of your estate, which means your will alone may not determine where your super goes when you die.

It’s an important reminder that estate planning can involve more than preparing a will. Your superannuation arrangements and estate planning documents should work together to reflect what you want to happen.

If it’s been a while since you reviewed your estate planning, it may be worth speaking with our Wills and Estates team to make sure your arrangements still reflect your wishes.

A motor vehicle accident can affect much more than your car.

Injuries can disrupt your work, your routine and time with the people who matter most.

If you have been physically or psychologically injured in a road accident, you may be entitled to compensation through South Australia’s CTP insurance scheme.

🚗 Unsure whether you can make a claim?
📄 Feeling overwhelmed by the process?
🤷 Not sure what to do next?

Our personal injury team can explain your options and guide you through each step.

We offer a free initial consultation, and most motor vehicle injury matters are handled on a No Win No Fee basis. Conditions apply.

Do you have a will in place, and when did you last review it?

A will is one of those important jobs that can easily stay on the list for another day.

Having an up-to-date will helps make your wishes clear and gives the people closest to you greater certainty about what should happen.

It may be time to create or update your will if your circumstances have changed, including:
🏡 Buying a property
👶 Starting a family
💍 Marrying or separating
💼 Starting or growing a business

Our wills and estates team can help you understand what needs to be considered and make sure your documents reflect your current wishes.
