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.
When a promise bears fruit
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.
Beneficiary of the doubt
Arthur owned the Seaside Hotel for more than forty years and remained involved into his nineties. His son, Daniel, had little involvement with the hotel. Later in life, Arthur met Helen.
The Posthumous Split
Harry and Wendy each have children to previous relationships. Two years after meeting each other, they commence cohabitation and are married shortly thereafter.
