We are extremely grateful to Randle & Taylor for their professionalism, responsiveness and support during one of the most challenging periods our company has faced.

A special thank you to Jonathan Brohier, who has been absolutely outstanding throughout the entire process. Jonathan was incredibly responsive, acted quickly when urgent matters arose, and consistently provided clear, practical and reliable advice. Most importantly, we always felt that we could genuinely rely on him when we needed support the most.

His commitment, professionalism and calm approach made a significant difference to our company during a very difficult time. Jonathan went above and beyond what we expected from our legal counsel, and we truly appreciate having him by our side.

Randle & Taylor has provided us with a 5-star level of service, and Jonathan is an exceptional lawyer who we would have no hesitation recommending to other businesses.

Thank you, Jonathan and the entire Randle & Taylor team, for standing with us through a difficult chapter. We sincerely appreciate your support and dedication.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Angus and Jonathan helped us with a legal issue, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Not only they did an excellent job, but they also genuinely cared about us and our situation. They took the time to listen and made us feel supported throughout the process, something that isn’t always easy to find in the legal world.
If you’re looking for legal help that is both highly professional and genuinely personal, I couldn’t recommend them more.

Inheritance Dispute FAQs

What is an inheritance dispute?

An inheritance dispute is a disagreement among beneficiaries or potential heirs about the distribution of a deceased person’s estate.

Inheritance disputes can arise in many different scenarios, including:

When parties contest the distribution of estates or the validity of wills,
Interpretation of testamentary wishes,
Making claims against the estate
Issues with executors, or
Lack of a will.

The disputes can be emotionally charged and complex, often requiring legal intervention. While litigation may be used in some inheritance disputes, many are resolved through mediation or other dispute resolution methods, reaching a settlement agreeable to all parties involved.

How long does it take to get inheritance money in Australia?

If you’re wondering how long it takes to get inheritance money in Australia, the duration may vary, but it generally takes between 3 to 12 months if there are no complications or disputes.

How do beneficiaries receive their money?

Beneficiaries receive money through a process managed by the executor or Personal Representative of the estate. Money can be received after all debts and claims against the estate are settled and the executor distributes the assets.

The process includes notification, Application for a Grant of Probate and distribution of the estate, probate process, and distribution of assets. After paying off debts and taxes, the executor can distribute remaining assets in cash, physical assets, investments, trusts, or a final account.

Beneficiaries must approve the final account to ensure proper distribution. The executor must also settle the deceased’s affairs and validate the will’s terms.

What is the 3 year rule for a deceased estate?

The 3-year rule stipulates that if a deceased’s estate isn’t claimed or administered within three years of their death, the state or governing body may take control. This ensures that property and belongings are not left in limbo.

What is the 2 year rule for inherited property?

In Australia, the “2 year rule” regarding inherited property primarily relates to tax implications, specifically concerning Capital Gains Tax (CGT). When someone inherits a property, the ATO provides a specific period during which the property can be sold without the beneficiary incurring CGT.

If you sell an inherited property within two years from the date you inherited it, you may be exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT), irrespective of the property’s use during that period.

Individual tax advice would be required.
