Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Conveyancing can be complex and highly detailed. We can ensure a “no hooks” settlement and also advise on the Occupation Right Agreement (ORA) you’ll be asked to sign for your new place. Units that allow capital gains are rare, and we can advise on those too.

These ORA agreements are usually locked, but we can highlight potential issues, or suggest questions you should ask – especially around fees, and transitioning through different layers of care in the same facility.

Families change, as do the resources available to you. If you want your wishes respected, it’s critical you update your Will so that it’s clear and incontestable.

Equally, it’s important to set out an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) that stipulates who runs your affairs if you can’t, and to provide layers - so that if your first choice is unwilling or unable, another trusted person can step in and make decisions around your care and property if required.

If you don’t have an EPA, your nearest will have to apply to the court for one, and that’s an expensive, drawn-out process.

Ensure the agreement does not cancel out “and/or nominee”.

You can nominate another individual or entity to purchase.

A supplementary document will need to be executed by the parties to effect the nomination.

It’s best to include a due diligence condition as it covers most matters.

However, if you are not aware of the specific conditions you require, contact us to discuss your circumstances and we will briefly review the agreement before you sign it.
