Dear John and Catherine,
On behalf of Benjamin and the Estate of
the late Maria Alvarez, thank you for your timely and gracious response. By way
of introduction, I’m happy to let you know that I was close classmates with
Benjamin at St Marys Senior High School in western Sydney quite some time ago.
Somehow Benjamin and I have managed to maintain our acquaintanceship throughout
the years not withstanding my subsequent relocation to the United States almost
twenty years ago. I presently co-manage an international marketing service
based in Las Vegas Nevada. I’m familiar with Ken Done’s artwork and appreciate
his style. I do not practice Law at present but am available for freelance
consulation and still maintain contact with registered lawyers in Australia where
I studied Law after matriculating from St Marys Senior High.
I can assure you there is no hurry with
the Estate and everything is moving fairly smoothly. As per Trish’s request,
Benjamin has posted out some of his mother’s ashes to her by Sea Mail however
he is unable to track this through Australia Post so is just hoping fingers
crossed it will arrive ok. The late Maria’s Will has been located and Benjamin
advises he has forwarded (a copy of) it by Air Mail to the Late Maria’s brother
and sister which has been tracked and recently arrived okay in the post in
Spain. The Will stipulates Benjamin and Trish are to share in the Estate half
each (50/50) and we do not anticipate any problems with executing the Will
through the NSW Supreme Court (the relevant authority as the property belonging
to the Estate is in NSW, namely 98 Jersey Rd Dharruk 2770 NSW).
With regard to the current expenses of
the Estate, Benjamin advises that at present he does not expect them to mount
up to a point where the Estate need be charged from the principal value of the
property itself. With regard to this Estate, the only real valuable item is the
house and land itself as none of the removable items are of any value enough to
compensate the expense of removing them, most of the furnishings have zero
value and have been listed as such already with the Estate papers submitted to
the Court. In other words, if the house sells for 600k (six hundred thousand
dollars), at present Benjamin expects to be able to halve that amount (minus real
Estate agency fees) with his sister and allocate the funds to her bank account.
You really hit on something mentioning
Covid, we can all appreciate no matter our respective location on the planet,
the pandemic is certainly upending lives and disrupting entire societies
globally. With regard to Benjamin and his sister and their relationship, I can
merely say that I wouldn’t even need to know Benjamin well to understand he’s
had a very difficult time managing his brother’s Estate, who sadly passed away
roughly three and a half years ago. I understand why he would not want to
complicate his current situation, managing his mother’s Estate, difficult as it
is, trying to balance a strained relationship with his sister Trish. I
understand he was becoming somewhat nervous at the prospect of being utterly
ignored by his sister not least because of the effect of the Covid pandemic on
real estate prices in Sydney. According to Benjamin’s reckoning, the family
Estate would normally only be valued at a little over 500k if that, but because
of the unusual effects on the macro and micro economies, of the Covid pandemic,
there seems to actually be a strengthening effect on real estate prices in
western sydney, and the property seems to be valued at around 600k these days.
However, Benjamin is concerned a crash in real estate prices could end up
costing himself and his sister many tens of thousands of dollars in lost
property value, he is of the opinion that the sooner the property is sold, the
better for his own and his sister’s proper interests.
Therefore entertaining that last point
which is pivotal to my client’s interests, while I am not in a position to give
Trish any legal advice or anyone representing her directly, notwithstanding
that Benjamin and Trish’s interests may overlap mostly, in this matter, I can
vaguely state that applying as a Co-Administrator would allow her to
micro-manage the sale of the property a little more. If an offer is made on the
house and Trish does not agree with it, having Co-Administrator status may
enable her to retain more control in individual decisions like that. On the
other hand, if she’s happy to accept Benjamin’s judgement, and realizes that
the NSW Supreme Court defends her rights as a stipulated co-recipient of the
late Maria’s Will, then she might not want to sign on as a Co-Administrator to
the Estate. At the end of the day, the Administrator(s), in this case, will
sell the house and split the value of that sale between Benjamin and
Trish. It’s incumbent on Trish to seek
her own legal advice, perhaps you can recommend your own lawyer to her or
merely encourage her to read up on the NSW Supreme Court website: http://www.supremecourt.justice.nsw.gov.au/Pages/sco2_probate/sco2_filing_instructions/applying_for_letters_of_administration.aspx
Also please request she keep an eye on
fluctuating real estate prices:

If she wishes to be added as a
Co-Administrator she might try simply adding a paragraph to Form 125 stating as
much, before signing, and having it witnessed. Likewise I’m not up to speed on
precisely who the NSW Supreme Court would recognize, in Spain, as a valid
witness, but it may not be necessary for her to make her way to an Australian
Diplomatic mission for that, it’s encumbent on her to discover that, she can
try researching the NSW Supreme Court website (listed above) for that. With
regard to posting, it’s absolutely essential she post hard copy of her
paperwork (FORM 125) to: The Estate of Maria Alvarez 98 Jersey Rd DHARRUK NSW
2770 for filing purposes.
