Season 2 Ep. 33 De Facto Relationships and Your Will
In this week’s episode, Lidia Vicca explores how de facto relationships impact your Will and estate planning in Queensland. Under the Succession Act 1981 (Qld), de facto partners have rights similar to spouses when it comes to inheritance but only if specific legal criteria are met. Lidia outlines what legally constitutes a de facto relationship in Queensland, the types of evidence needed to prove one, and the implications for both testators and beneficiaries. Whether you’re in a long-term partnership, living together, or unsure about your legal status, this episode provides essential guidance on how to protect your wishes and avoid disputes after death. Tune in for practical advice to ensure your estate plan reflects your relationship and stands up to scrutiny.
