The Digital Trap: Is Your Social Media a Risk to Your Custody Case?
In 2026, your “digital footprint” is a legal reality shaping parenting arrangements across Queensland. Your smartphone is the most powerful piece of evidence in your pocket—it can prove your devotion as a parent or be used to paint a picture of conflict and instability.
This blog explores the “80% Reality”, where social media content is successfully admitted as evidence in family law courts 82% of the time. We provide a 3-step digital safety check to help you put your online activity through a “Legal Lens” and explain why “deleting” posts can often be more damaging than the original content itself. Don’t let a 30-second post ruin a 10-year plan—learn how to protect your family’s future in the digital age.
Who Can Witness a Will in Queensland? – 2026 Essential Guide
Properly witnessing a Will is more than a formality—it is a critical legal safeguard. To be valid in QLD, a Will must be signed in the presence of two eligible witnesses who meet specific criteria. This guide explains who can legally act as a witness, why beneficiaries should never sign, and how the right witnesses help prevent fraud and disputes.
What Is Probate In QLD and Do I Need It?
Do you really need Probate? One of the most common questions we receive is whether a Grant of Probate is mandatory for every estate in Queensland. The answer depends on the value of the assets, how they were held, and the requirements of financial institutions. From bank accounts with “substantial” balances to the transfer of real estate, understanding the distinction between probate and non-probate assets is vital. Explore our comprehensive guide to the QLD probate process and learn how to ensure legal compliance while honouring your loved one’s legacy.
