Goodness. That isn't helpful. My accountant is not necessarily expert in all matters. Thankfully last time I sought help on this forum I received information that my previous accountant was not aware of. I haven't been here for a while so things seemed to have changed. Not for the better.

Hi Folks The people here were a lifesaver a few years ago with regard to CGT so I am hoping for some similar advice with this one. We have a commercial lease for our business that expires in 2 years. The landlord wishes us to exit 12 months early and will be providing us an incentive...

It isnt an issue of what the current interest rate is, versus your interest rate. The bottom line is that there is a signed contract for say 5 years, in which your interest payments add up to a certain amount over that period. Guaranteed Income. And that is your break fee. I believe you can...

We were quoted upper $300'000's and it went for $580k. We did think the Agent had underquoted but that was ridiculous.

Webpages and forum posts are extremely easy. And today my son bought something online so those functions are fine. Ebooks - very easy and you can change font size, brightness and colour of the background ( white, black or sepia). I also have a kindle which is a little smaller but the iPad is...

I have an IPAD and I love it. It is not a netbook. It is quiet, no whirring and chugging of fans. We download the Australian App each morning, rather than read the paper. Buying the paper costs us around $500 a year; this way we are paying (currently) $48 a year. I have the kindle app...

I am sorry for all your troubles Sunfish, sometimes it is all just crappy. Wow, thanks for that Winston.

Which is why you get a lawyer involved. This reference lists who can challenge a will but there are no grounds listed. It would be interesting to know that it seems even the milkman can make a claim, how many are actually successful. If the will seems well prepared (by a lawyer), covers most...

It is sad for the Company to lose so much of its talent in the same event. I think the media need to be taken to task about their statements about the prolonged repatriation, hyping the information that it was going to months to retrieve the bodies; thereby prolonging the anguish for family...

You should speak with a lawyer about these issues and then they can attest to your mum's capacity to change her will and exercise of free will. If something in her will states something to the effect of "I leave my house solely to my daughter ABC who has taken care of me for the last 20 years"...

Oh god, my tenant wants us to replace three lightglobes. Sigh. And in SA we have to do this as part of our maintenance obligations. I can see why tribunals go bad for the landlord - the 'sing song' patronising voice of the SA Authority is enough to tell me that all Landlords are considered evil!

Nope. Good idea though!

Nope, wrong. Even if a car is parked illegally, if you hit it, you are always deemed to be at fault.

Oh my, that is quite scary. And I can see how it all unravelled for her. After consumer affairs told her not to contact them, she should have stopped but I guess maybe she got scared again, and then, all those $$$ appeared and well, damn!

Ditto! Maybe they might have given us a hint. I totally ignored google yesterday, that 'computer look' totally bugged me.
