Summary
On 30 November 2011 the Queensland State Parliament passed the Civil Partnerships Act 2011, allowing Queensland same sex couples to enter into a civil partnership. For family lawyers, this means no dispute as to the two year hurdle of a de facto relationship, which can mean cutting straight to drafting airtight property agreements, establishing contribution and conducting property settlements. In addition to specific civil partnership issues that are distinct from de facto or marriage, this seminar also steps you through unique facets of will drafting that apply specifically to civil partnerships.
