DIY Will Kit; A Risky Business.

August 27, 2020 By Natalie Rossi

While the digital age has made a lot of everyday tasks easier (thank goodness for airtasker and online banking), not all of life’s errands should be solved using the Internet. This is most evident when it comes to legally binding documents; especially creating your Will.   While most of us know the importance of having a Will in place, too many Australians are falling victim to the … [Read more...]

The Loss of a Loved One: Where to Next?

May 10, 2017 By Maddalena Romano

The loss of a loved one is a profound and overwhelming experience. Not only do you need to deal with your personal grief and the roller-coaster of emotions, but you may also be responsible for finalising the financial affairs of the deceased. The most common question we hear from our clients when they have lost their loved one is, “What do I need to do now?” Such a question, tinged with … [Read more...]

Law in the Technological Age: A Practical Reimagining

April 12, 2017 By Jason Coluccio

Jason Coluccio writes frankly about future directions in the legal profession, why law firms are facing huge challenges today and what he did about it. When I joined the legal profession in 2011 it was not as a fledgling, wide-eyed twenty-something graduate (with minimal life experience), but rather, as a reasonably savvy businessman with a proven track record in sales. It followed then, that … [Read more...]

Celebrity Wills Blog Series: (3) John Lennon

April 6, 2017 By Greg Welden

Arguably the most successful songwriter of all time, John Winston Lennon, was tragically murdered in 1980.  With such a sudden death, taking place during what was possibly the peak of his solo career, one must wonder about the specifics of his estate?  After all, even by today’s standards, he was what we would consider to be complicated.  Lennon, who had divorced his first wife Cynthia in 1967 … [Read more...]

Real Estate Contracts: New Rulings Spell Warnings For Those Signing Contracts

April 4, 2017 By Greg Welden

A recent Revenue Ruling by the Commissioner of State Taxation has now made clear that the use and implementation of including the phrase 'and or nominee' in a contract, most likely for the purchase of land, is no longer required. A word of warning. If you think it is now safe to begin executing contracts for the purchase of land on behalf of family and friends and so on, think again. Signing a … [Read more...]

Celebrity Wills Blog Series: (2) Heath Ledger

March 11, 2017 By Greg Welden

Updating your Will can be just as (possibly more) important than ensuring you have one in the first place. Celebrities are not immune from this either, take for example the ‘out of date’ Will of Heath Ledger. Everyone knows they should have a Will.  Whether everyone actually has one is a different thing altogether.  Whether it be apathy, laziness or fear of death, an alarmingly large number … [Read more...]

Real People, Real Law, Communicated Simply: What Makes Us Different

March 9, 2017 By Jason Coluccio

At Welden & Coluccio Lawyers we pride ourselves in having created, what we affectionately refer to as “a home-baked cookie kind of business”. I appreciate that this may seem like a long stretch. However, suspend your disbelief long enough to put aside your image of a lawyer (wig and gown clad if you wish), stooped over a stove, as the smell of freshly baked goods wafts gently in the … [Read more...]

Digital Assets: Your Online Life After Death

February 26, 2017 By Jason Coluccio

With rapid advancements in technology there is the increased likelihood that you have created a digital presence and online identity. As time goes by many of our ‘possessions’ are becoming digitised, creating a new category of personal property that being the ‘digital asset’. What is a digital asset? A digital asset is anything you may own, or have rights to, that exist either online or on … [Read more...]

Celebrity Wills Blog Series: (1)Robin Williams

February 22, 2017 By Greg Welden

Every adult needs a Will. I say and write that repeatedly when speaking with new clients, current clients, friends or the public when presenting seminars or information sessions.  So why do we not think that celebrities don’t have a Will?  Of course they do. Celebrity Wills range from the complex, think Michael Jackson, to non-existent, Amy Winehouse or, (would you believe it?) Abraham … [Read more...]
