Day of sudden possible reality
I dearly apologise for the messy clutter, but I wanted to get my mental notes down in print and the
overwhelm was too much.
[Edited by moderator] lawyer ****** ****** her quote for a Will $3,900
Had free consultation with her August 31 2023
My opinion first, she was rude, blunt and cold. Expected all things from us though we are first timers.
Got impatient with our information or lack of.
Considering our age, she wanted our decision making capacity ability.
Alot of comments from her, our information was often irrelevant, she wasn’t polite and kinda scolded us
for not having all relevant documents considering we had not one clue about what we were doing.
Impatient woman and very rude.
To me: find title from the bank regarding mortgage property.
Full assessment of medical report and diagnosis for daughter.
Bring daughters birth certificate.
Get Superannuation members statement
To me - enquire into lawyers information doubt why daughter is the only signing person on her bank
account?
Should we be added signatories?
Daughter’s decision making capability.
In sight of when friend, lover, boyfriend, opportunist, etc or toxic person wants her to take a large sum of money on only her signature. This is where a added signature like our son the executor or gaurdian can safe guard.
Apparently dodgy according to lawyer
State trustees
Centre link
Ndis.
And these will take daughter from her house ownership.So daughter will have to have an executor of her monies in the will, And son executor of will, to gain for himself of stress of caring and anguish (mental) 5% - $23 k per year.
Executor of will, son has 1yr from our death to settle estate
Grant of probate??? I have no idea
VCAT- Guardian ship order
Son executor of will to step up for VCAT when we pass.
Lawyer said that daughter should have the right to reside in the dwelling/House for 1 yr after our death.
To which my husband said, what is the point of that as all you’ve said daughter cant own a house
because of her lack of decision making ability. Lawyer then said, it wont matter anyway because you
will be d**d.
What a classic horrible person is this?
Why did she need photo copy of our drivers licence?
She was criticising her colleagues who don’t know the law as well as her and that she was a far more
knowledgable lawyer, and that they go as far to buy their glowing reviews.
When speaking about me speaking about our son in west papua, she went into doomsday speech about people getting k****d on the border. Our son in West Papua will be the excecutor of our Will.
After sitting with her we feel like we been f****d in the head.
Are all lawyers like this? I can’t believe what we went through today, so essentially my daughter is
doomed the day we are no longer there for her in any way. State trustees, Ndis, all waiting for a wif of
taking what we want to leave our daughter. Her inability to own her own place or to sign anything. In no
way will she live in a group setting with clients or staff, she will be at risk of abuse either financially or
s******y This is the stuff of nightmares, how can I live into my 90’s
We still dont have a Will.
Am feeling so alone.
I can feel the grief in my body.
