  • family trust distributions and beneficiary entitlements
  • beneficiary loan accounts
  • competing priorities of spouses and other beneficiaries in the Family Court after death
  • the High Court case of Bamford delivered 16 November 2012
  • the impact of binding financial agreements on family provision claims.
