This is one of those conversations that's much easier to have early.

An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) allows someone you trust to make financial and personal decisions on your behalf if illness, injury, or age means you're no longer able to make those decisions yourself.

The important thing to know is that timing matters.

An EPOA can only be made while you still have the legal capacity to understand what you're signing.

If that opportunity passes, families in Queensland often need to apply to QCAT to have someone formally appointed to make decisions. That process can take time, involve extra costs, and add stress during an already difficult period.

Putting an EPOA in place is a simple step that can make a significant difference later on.

More than anything, it's a quiet act of care for the people who may one day need to step in and help.

Buying premises for your business? It's a different game to buying a home.

Purchasing commercial property is one of the biggest moves a business can make β€” and the legal side carries risks that residential buyers never face.

Things to get right before you sign:

β†’ Due diligence β€” zoning, permitted use, and whether the property actually suits your business
β†’ GST β€” commercial purchases can have GST consequences a home purchase doesn't
β†’ Existing leases β€” if tenants are already in place, you may be buying the lease along with the building
β†’ The Property Law Act 2023 β€” Queensland's reformed property rules affect what you're entitled to know before contract

The cheapest mistake is the one you catch before you sign. Have the contract reviewed first.
We'll guide you through it in plain English β€” no hidden fees, no need to head into the Brisbane CBD.

A homemade Will can cost your family far more than it ever saved you.

A recent Supreme Court of Queensland decision has again highlighted what can go wrong when Wills are prepared without proper legal advice β€” confusion, disputes, and estates tied up for years.

A professionally drafted Will is one of the kindest things you can leave behind.

Many people assume their Will takes care of everything they own. But if your family holds assets in a discretionary (family) trust, here's the catch: those assets generally aren't yours to give away in your Will β€” they belong to the trust.

What actually matters is who controls the trust after you're gone. That's usually the role of the "appointor" or "trustee" β€” and if that succession isn't planned, control can end up somewhere you never intended.

It's one of the most overlooked gaps in estate planning. The fix is straightforward once you know to look for it.

If your family or business uses a trust, it's worth reviewing your Will and your trust documents together.

Brisbane’s industrial map just got bigger β€” is your business ready?

On 8 May 2026, Brisbane Airport Corporation fast-tracked Stage 2 of its Airport Industrial Park β€” a new 25-hectare precinct unlocking 27,000 square metres of warehouse space for logistics, supply chain, and manufacturing businesses.

For Moreton Bay and Pine Rivers business owners, this presents real opportunities:
β€’ New commercial leases
β€’ New supplier relationships
β€’ New property and expansion decisions

But every opportunity comes with fine print. Lease terms, contract conditions, supply agreements, and commercial property transactions can all create legal risk if they’re not handled carefully.

At Big Law, we help local businesses move quickly and confidently on opportunities like these.

Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. Practical, plain-English advice.

Thinking about a retirement village? Read the contract before you sign.

Moving into a retirement village is a major life decision β€” and the contracts behind it are rarely simple.

Ingoing contributions, ongoing fees, exit entitlements, deferred management fees, reinstatement costs β€” the financial picture often looks very different from the brochure. Understanding what you're agreeing to now protects you, your family, and your future.

At Big Law, we help Strathpine, Pine Rivers and Moreton Bay families navigate retirement village contracts with clear, plain-English advice. No hidden fees. No pressure. Just practical guidance so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Signing a commercial lease in Strathpine? Read this first.

A lease is more than a signature β€” it's a multi-year commitment that can make or break your business.
Whether you're opening your first shopfront or expanding into bigger premises, the fine print matters. Rent reviews, outgoings, make-good clauses, option periods β€” small details that can cost thousands if they're not negotiated properly upfront.

At Big Law, we help business owners across Strathpine, Pine Rivers and the Moreton Bay region understand exactly what they're agreeing to before they sign. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just clear, practical advice from a trusted local team.

Sole trader, partnership, company or trust β€” the structure you choose affects your tax, your liability, and your ability to grow.

Selling your home in Queensland? The rules have changed.

Since 1 August 2025, every Queensland seller must provide a Seller Disclosure Statement before a contract is signed β€” and getting it wrong can cost you the sale.

What needs to be disclosed? What happens if you miss something? What protections do buyers now have?

These are the questions catching sellers off guard.

At Big Law, we help sellers across Strathpine, Pine Rivers and Moreton Bay navigate the new disclosure regime with clear, plain-English advice and no hidden fees.

Top quality legal help β€” right on your doorstep.
