Legally Gone: Leave to swear death and declaration of death

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.

You can (and should!) read the full cases.
