Selling property in Queensland?

Queensland's new Seller Disclosure requirements are now in effect, meaning property owners must provide buyers with certain information before a contract is signed.

Preparing the required documents early can help avoid delays and ensure a smoother transaction once your property is listed for sale.

Some of the key documents that may be required include:
✔ Current council and water rates notices
✔ Existing lease or tenancy agreements
✔ Relevant government notices affecting the property
✔ Body corporate records and information (where applicable)

Getting organised before listing your property can save time, reduce stress and help ensure compliance with Queensland's disclosure requirements.

Our conveyancing team can guide you through the process, prepare the necessary documentation and help you move forward with confidence.

If you're thinking about selling, contact our conveyancing team today to ensure you meet your disclosure obligations and achieve a smooth sale.

Preventing Estate Disputes Before They Happen

Estate disputes often arise not because families intend to disagree but because expectations, wishes and intentions were never clearly documented or communicated.

A carefully considered estate plan can help provide certainty, minimise the risk of misunderstandings and ensure your wishes are carried out as intended. It can also help your loved ones navigate a difficult time with greater clarity and confidence.

Estate planning is about more than preparing documents, it's about protecting your family, preserving relationships and creating peace of mind for the future.

If it's been some time since you reviewed your Will or estate planning arrangements, now may be the perfect opportunity to revisit them.

Book an appointment with team our discuss your estate planning needs and how we can help safeguard your wishes and your loved ones.

What does an Executor actually do?

When preparing a Will, one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing your Executor, the person responsible for managing your estate and carrying out your wishes after you pass away.

Many people are surprised by the level of responsibility involved. Depending on the circumstances, an Executor may need to apply for probate, identify and manage assets, pay debts and liabilities, communicate with beneficiaries and distribute the estate according to the terms of the Will.

Administering an estate can be a complex and emotional process, particularly during a difficult time for families. Having the right legal guidance can help ensure everything is handled correctly and efficiently.

If you're preparing a Will, acting as an Executor or need assistance administering an estate, our team is here to help.

Contact AVA Solicitors to discuss your estate planning or estate administration needs.

Estate Planning for Blended Families

Blended families often bring unique dynamics, and estate planning should reflect those relationships carefully.

Many people want to ensure their spouse or partner is provided for while also protecting the interests of children from previous relationships. Without a clear estate plan, these intentions can be difficult to achieve and may lead to misunderstandings or disputes in the future.

A well-structured estate plan can help:
✔ Clearly document your wishes
✔ Balance the needs of your loved ones
✔ Address your family's unique circumstances
✔ Provide greater certainty for those you leave behind

Every family is different, which is why personalised legal advice is so important when planning for the future.

Contact our team today to discuss your estate planning needs and how we can help create a plan that reflects your wishes and protects the people who matter most.

Do I really need a Will?

Many people assume Wills are only necessary later in life or for those with significant wealth. The reality is that every adult should have a valid Will in place.

Without a Will, the law determines who receives your estate and who will be responsible for managing it. This may not reflect your wishes and can create additional stress, delays, and uncertainty for your loved ones during an already difficult time.

A properly prepared Will can help:
✔ Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes
✔ Appoint someone you trust to manage your estate
✔ Reduce the risk of disputes between family members
✔ Provide clarity and peace of mind for those you leave behind

Having a Will isn't just about planning for the future—it's about protecting the people who matter most.

If you haven't reviewed your Will recently, or don't have one in place, now is a good time to start the conversation.

Contact our team at AVA Solicitors to discuss your estate planning needs and ensure your wishes are protected.

Contract Tip: What’s actually included in your property purchase?

It’s a common assumption that everything you see in a property stays with it once it’s sold — but that’s not always the case.

Just because an item is physically present during an inspection does not automatically mean it forms part of the sale. In property law, inclusion depends on what is clearly set out in the contract and what is considered a fixed fixture.

This is where misunderstandings often arise. Items such as dishwashers, fridges, washing machines, and wall-mounted TVs are frequently assumed to be included, but they may be removed unless specifically agreed upon in writing.

As a general rule:
If it is not permanently fixed to the property, or not expressly listed in the contract of sale, it is not guaranteed to stay.

To avoid uncertainty, it is important that all inclusions are clearly documented before signing. A careful review of your contract can prevent unexpected surprises and ensure both parties are on the same page.

If you are unsure about what is included in your purchase or sale, our conveyancing team can help review your contract and provide clear, practical advice before you commit.
