Description

In this week's episode, Beverly sought guidance on the sale of her house in the event of her husband's demise, given that the deeds are in his name. Nick clarified the necessity of probate for Beverly to manage her husband's property posthumously, despite a will favouring the surviving spouse. Nick also touched on the benefits of joint tenancy, which Beverly lacks, thus complicating the process. The discussion then shifted to address the issue of a couple sharing a solicitor during their separation, and the appropriateness of a company policy barring employees from accepting tips.

Topics Discussed:

Home ownership and wills

Survivorship in joint tenancy

Property stamp duty advice

Estate management and will amendments

Bunnings employee dog policy

Using one solicitor for divorce matters
