Book excerpt: Aboriginal people in NSW have even more need to make wills than non-Aboriginal people. A burgeoning middle class continues to have traditional family and customary law obligations, while taking on mainstream property and obligations. The standard intestacy regime is inappropriate including because it uses an inappropriate idea of family and the high rate of burial disputes involving Aboriginal people means the role of executor is even more important than usual. A will can also be used to protect certain aspects of customary law. The article considers the issues arising in drafting the most culturally appropriate and effective wills.

Book Synopsis The NSW Project on the Inheritance Needs of Aboriginal People by : Prue E. Vines
Download or read book The NSW Project on the Inheritance Needs of Aboriginal People written by Prue E. Vines and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this project was to establish the particular needs of Aboriginal people in relation to death and inheritance, with particular focus on NSW. It required both legal and empirical research. Because of the diversity of nations and cultures within Aboriginal communities a range of communities were consulted from metropolitan, suburban, coastal and rural areas in NSW. The findings included the very low rate of will-making (approximately 2%) amongst Aboriginal people in Australia compared with non-Indigenous people, and a range of problems caused by intestacy regimes in particular in relation to burial disputes and miss-matched kinship. Several issues emerged: the most significant was concern about disputes about disposal of bodies, which every community consulted had been affected by. Other concerns included problems with funeral insurance, planning for end of life, recognition of the mismatched kinship assumed by the common law compared with Aboriginal people, disputes over property, where to keep a will safely, and protection of customary law. Misconceptions which might contribute to the low rate of will-making included the idea that one must own significant property before one can make a will. Participants were often not aware of what a will could do, and were very interested in the role of executor as the person with control of the body. Hostility to the legal system lessened once the idea that a will has in it what the testator wishes; and in most cases participants were extremely interested in making a will as soon as this was made clear. The findings showed that it may be more important for Aboriginal people to make a will than for non-Indigenous people, and that resistance to will-making may reduce as Aboriginal people become aware of wills and lawyers drafting wills become aware of how to make culturally appropriate wills. To this end the project was completed by the production of The Aboriginal Wills Handbook: a practical guide to making culturally appropriate wills for Aboriginal people by Prue Vines. This is accessible at the website of the NSW Trustee & Guardian and is aimed at both Aboriginal people and their lawyers.

Book Synopsis Landmark Cases in Succession Law by : Brian Sloan
Download or read book Landmark Cases in Succession Law written by Brian Sloan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Landmark Cases series highlights the historical antecedents of what are widely considered to be the leading cases in a discipline, and seeks to provide contexts in which to better understand how and why certain cases came to be regarded as the 'landmark' cases in any given field. Succession law's long pedigree, near-universal application, immense capacity for human interest stories, somewhat uncertain future in England and Wales, and close connection to demographics make it an ideal candidate for a Landmark Cases volume. The distinguished contributors to this collection consider cases ranging from 1720 to 2017, covering issues such as will-making and interpretation, the position of beneficiaries and personal representatives, testamentary promises, and the extent of testamentary freedom in England and Wales and beyond. The cases are relevant not only to scholars and students of succession law per se, but also those working in fields such as tax, trusts, tort and land law. They raise issues as diverse as class, colonialism, familial dynamics, expectations and obligations, mental health, and the proper roles of the legal profession and the welfare state. The collection will provoke much discussion on what makes a 'landmark' case, as well as on the peculiarities and limitations of the case law method.

Download or read book The Quiet Revolution written by and published by . This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My aim with the 53rd Boyer Lectures has been to inject new ideas and new ways of thinking about the status of Indigenous people in Australia and about the impact of the mining boom in the Aboriginal domain. My hope is that my interpretation of the economic impacts of the mining boom and some facts about our economic history are introduced into the national conversation about Aboriginal people, and thereby encourage a more sophisticated view than the archetypal one of the native as perpetual victim with no hope.' When W.E.H. Stanner delivered the Boyer Lectures in 1968, 'After The Dreaming: Black And White Australians - An Anthropologist?s View', he gave credence, perhaps inadvertently, to the widely held assumption at that time that Aboriginal life was incommensurate with modern economic life. Today, the expectation is quite the reverse. The emergence of an Aboriginal middle class in Australia in the last two to three decades has gone largely unnoticed. There are hundreds of Aboriginal businesses and Aboriginal not - for - profit corporations with income streams, delivering economic outcomes to communities on an unprecedented scale. The 53rd Boyer Lectures, presented by Professor Marcia Langton AM, is an investigation into the dependency of Aboriginal businesses and not - for - profit corporations on the resources industry, and their resultant vulnerability to economic downturns.
Book Synopsis Decolonising Indigenous Child Welfare by : Terri Libesman
Download or read book Decolonising Indigenous Child Welfare written by Terri Libesman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, a remarkable transference of responsibility to Indigenous children’s organisation has taken place in many parts of Australia, Canada, the USA and New Zealand. It has been influenced by Indigenous peoples’ human rights advocacy at national and international levels, by claims to self-determination and by the globalisation of Indigenous children’s organisations. Thus far, this reform has taken place with little attention from academic and non-Indigenous communities; now, Decolonising Indigenous Child Welfare: Comparative Perspectives considers these developments and, evaluating law reform with respect to Indigenous child welfare, asks whether the pluralisation of responses to their welfare and well-being, within a cross-cultural post-colonial context, can improve the lives of Indigenous children. The legislative frameworks for the delivery of child welfare services to Indigenous children are assessed in terms of the degree of self-determination which they afford Indigenous communities. The book draws upon interdisciplinary research and the author’s experience collaborating with the peak Australian Indigenous children’s organisation for over a decade to provide a thorough examination of this international issue. Dr Terri Libesman is a Senior Lecturer in the Law Faculty, at the University of Technology Sydney. She has collaborated, researched and published for over a decade with the peak Australian Indigenous children’s organisation.

Book Synopsis Restorative Justice by : Declan Roche
Download or read book Restorative Justice written by Declan Roche and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legitimacy and performance of the traditional criminal justice system is the subject of intense scrutiny as the world economic crisis continues to put pressure on governments to cut the costs of the criminal justice system. This volume brings together the leading work on restorative justice to achieve two objectives: to construct a comprehensive and up-to-date conceptual framework for restorative justice suitable even for newcomers; and to challenge the barriers of restorative justice in the hope of taking its theory and practice a step further. The selected articles start by answering some fundamental questions about restorative justice regarding its historical and philosophical origins, and challenge the concept by bringing into the debate the human rights and equality discourses. Also included is material based on empirical testing of restorative justice claims especially those impacting on reoffending rates, victim satisfaction and reintegration. The volume concludes with a critique of restorative justice as well as with analytical thinking that aims to push its barriers. It is hoped that the investigations offered by this volume not only offer hope for a better system for abolitionists and reformists, but also new and convincing evidence to persuade the sceptics in the debate over restorative justice.
