Being named as executor for a loved one’s estate is an honour—but it can also be overwhelming, especially when grief is still fresh. In Queensland, the probate process can quickly become confusing, with strict legal steps and hidden pitfalls. This article explains why even the most well-meaning executors can run into trouble—and how Gullickson Lawyers can help you manage the process with confidence and care.

From 1 August 2025, Queensland sellers must comply with strict new disclosure laws — or risk losing the sale. The updated Property Law Act introduces mandatory disclosure statements for most residential sales. Missing or incorrect information could allow buyers to terminate the contract or claim compensation.

Gullickson Lawyers is here to help sellers prepare and protect their transactions.

With recent changes to the Family Law Act now in effect, property matters before the courts demand more precision, transparency, and legal strategy than ever before. Whether you're facing division of assets, disclosure obligations, or navigating court timelines, one misstep can have serious consequences. At Gullickson Lawyers — with offices in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast — our team, led by Sherri Gullickson, is ready to help you secure your entitlements and avoid costly mistakes. Don't leave your financial future to chance.

Sherri Gullickson will temporarily close her FDRP mediation services at Gullickson Lawyers as she shifts focus to growing court-based family law work. Clients can still benefit from her resolution-first approach—now applied directly within litigation. If mediation has failed, our experienced legal team is here to represent you through the court process.
