Hypotheticals
Every week, our Principal Solicitor and Accredited Specialist in Wills and Estates, Manny Wood, explores a real legal scenario in plain English.
A grave matter of title
After separating from Gordon, Dot is intent on building a life for herself and their son, Charlie. She works full time and a few years later, sets her sights on a home of their own.
A Home for $1

Clive began working at Rosegum Vineyard as a young man. Owned by Reginald and Dorothy, Rosegum became the centre of his working life. He tended the vines, repaired fences and worked each harvest for modest wages and accommodation.
