About the Webinar

It is an inevitable fact of life that people change, life gets more complicated and relationships sour. It is no wonder that even the best laid estate plans can go awry. While judicial advice applications are often a prudent option to take, knowing how to get the most out of them is another matter. To assist practitioners, this session shall look at:

  • When do you need to apply to court for judicial advice, including examples of factual circumstances in which it would be prudent to seek judicial advice
  • Practical steps lawyers should take to identify potential problems when taking instructions and drafting a will
  • What to do when you do come across a problem, such as a property owned by a trust
  • How to apply for judicial advice (and what alternatives may be available) and cost implications of applying, or failing to apply
  • Issues which arose in recent cases including Wheatley v Lakshmanan [2022] NSWSC 583, Yuen & Anor v Louey [2023][ VSC 423, Alexopoulos v Krasovec [2022] VSC 749, Mantovani v Vanta Pty Ltd & Ors (No.3)
