In this episode, Caite & Michele talk through a not-so-common but ever-so-interesting element of succession law; leave to swear death and declarations of death.
In this chat, we talk about:
- when leave to swear death is required
- where a declaration of death is required
- the differences between leave to swear death and declaration of death
- evidence required for applications
- jurisdiction of the court for different applications
- the case of Re Bennett [2006] QSC 250
- the case of Re Parker [1995] 2 Qd R 617.
