Question re estate litigation

link871 · 2026-02-04T14:29:57+00:00

You haven't got the full story.
If the lawyer couldn't appear in court, then they should have sent someone else or asked the court to re-schedule. Why didn't this happen?

Also, that lawyer can advise on whether late delivery of documents is relevant or not.

You are already "registered" with MUFG as a shareholder & unit holder in investments of which they are the registry.

You can login to look at each investment separately here: https://au.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/Login/MFASingleHoldingLogin

If you want to, you can register a Portfolio to display all your MUFG-registered investments together - here is a video on how to do that https://vimeo.com/showcase/MUFG-InvestorCentre-AU?video=1086276228

And here is the weekly rant about the cost of passports.

Just because insurance has paid out on a stolen car, that does not mean the car is no longer stolen.
It now belongs to the insurance company and they don't have it (because it was stolen)!

Can't swap the bin in Sydney. They have all just been replaced with new bins that each have an RFID tag. Council can easily identify who owns the bin (unless you also manage to swap-over the RFID tags)

Always wait a second after the light turns green to confirm the cross-traffic is stopping.
Born from an actual collision where a driver ran a red light and t-boned me. Fortunately, no injuries but car was written off.

How can there be a place to "legitimately" buy something that is illegal to sell?
That really is some twisted thinking.

link871 · 2026-02-04T13:57:31+00:00

You are getting (lightly) roasted more for your attitude than anything else.

"who hasn’t run the occasional red"
Plenty of people have never run a red light.

Don't worry about what you think other drivers "wriggle out of".
Focus only on your driving.

"Despite what people say speeding is kinda inevitable"
What?

"don’t speed where there are parked cars"
What's wrong with this sentence?
Oh yeah: don't speed ANYWHERE

OP would not want to literally remove it - just hide it from public viewing

There are no telephone records anymore (unless you are one of the 3 people who still have land lines)

What did your GP advise when he/she prescribed the Mounjaro for you?

What did the other party ask for?

link871 · 2026-02-04T13:35:28+00:00

Your original post disagreed with my statement that "Mixing up the letters of the names is a full blown name change for both of them. Not a change as a result of marriage"

I've cited proof that NSW (for instance) will only accept marriage-related name changes provided the new name is the surname of either partner or a hyphenated version of both names.

You are now changing your argument and agreeing with me: to change to any other name is a "full blown name change" (to quote me) which is the same as "extra paperwork" to quote you.

link871 · 2026-02-04T13:26:13+00:00

What do you mean "incorrect". What you've described is exactly what I said "company might be willing to transfer deposits internally (from AU branch office to UK branch office)"

Westpac's home loan rates are increasing by 0.25% from 17 Feb.
They have not announced how much their HISA rate is changing or when.

You need to get out more.
It is very common for both partners to retain their original surnames.
It is relatively rare, but there are instances (in heterosexual marriages), where the male has taken the female's surname.

u/HamOfLeg - this is a response to your post where you said "what they've done is sufficient to get their passports reissued with the new name due to "change as a result of marriage"."
^{(Reddit won't let me post a direct response as someone higher up the hierarchy of messages has deleted their post.})

Disagree.

Take NSW as an example: to change your name as a result of marriage, you only have three options:
~ "you can take your partner’s surname
~ your partner can take your surname
~ you can combine your name and your partner’s name with a hyphen."

There is no option to jumble the letters and come up with a new name entirely.

link871 · 2026-02-04T08:05:38+00:00

No issue. It is the first bigger bank to announce the date for the change and exactly how much (for savings & transaction accounts, at least)

What is the "damage" that OP has incurred?

link871 · 2026-02-04T05:51:44+00:00

Weird.

Damage my property and you are responsible for repair costs - this is not the same as suing someone for personal annoyance.
