    Hello

    I am Zinta Harris. I live in Brisbane, Australia with my husband of 25 years, Craig (known by most as Harry) and our two children Teja and Zigi. I am a specialist wills and estates lawyer by day and inspiration seeker by night. I help Australian families navigate the legal fallout after the loss of a loved one in a calm and compassionate way. My mood is better after a daily double shot coffee and a glass or two of bubbles. I get my energy from people. My superpower is encouraging others. It is my sincere hope that this blog will encourage you. I hope it gives you a chance to chime in with your experience or to feel part of a community that has walked through a valley and made it through. Read about me

    Ever wondered about the roles in estate administra Ever wondered about the roles in estate administration? An executor, named in the deceased's will, takes charge of the estate. On the other hand, an administrator steps in when there's no will. And who are the beneficiaries? If there's a will, they're usually named there. But without one, beneficiaries are determined by legislation. Navigating the legal maze of estates! 🌟 #EstateAdministration #ProbateProcess #Beneficiaries"
    Last night my law world and my Latvian world colli Last night my law world and my Latvian world collided!💥 🌏💥 But unlike it being a George Costanza like disaster - it was a truly enjoyable evening! 💞 I invited my parents along to listen to the @universityofqueenslandaus public lecture on "Freedom of Expression on the Internet and Democracy" delivered by His Excellency Dr Egils Levits, the President of the Republic of Latvia (2019-2023). 🇱🇻 There in the Banco Court along with an eclectic mix of members of the Latvian society, members of my law profession and UQ alumni (@stevenperissinotto) and current students - we learned about the different approaches taken in Europe and the United States to regulation of freedom of speech on the internet in the context of its effect on the democracies of the world. 🙈🙉🙊 Seems that the lawyers working in this space will have their work cut out for them for many years to come! . #worldscollide #lawlecture #uq

    It is better to give than to receive. It is better It is better to give than to receive. It is better to contribute and add value than to pursue personal success at the expense of others. So how can you add value to others this week? How about writing an email about someone you appreciate to their employer just to express how much you value them. Write a great review for a business. Promote others. Be kind and generous with your time and resources to family and friends. You can't be all things to all people, but it costs nothing but time to add value to others! #mindsetmonday #newweek #sstrivetobeofvalue
