  • 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

    Once an estate is distributed without notice of an Once an estate is distributed without notice of any claims it is untouchable! Which is why we love to do the @mchammer jig to #youcanttouchthis when we can get this job done for our executor clients! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ

In some estate administrations the executors nervously wait for claims to be made against the estate - particularly if there are beneficiaries who didn't have a close relationship with the deceased. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

In Queensland - we have to wait 6 months from the date of death to pass before distributing estate to allow time for anyone intending to make a claim to give their notice. BUT if no notices are received we can distribute the estate the day after. โฐ๏ธโฐ๏ธโฐ๏ธ

If any claims are made after that time - it's #toobadsosad - because there is no estate to claim against once it is gone! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹

It's a great feeling to help nervous executors get everything in order so that we can distribute the estate the minute we can! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

If you need help with estate administration in Queensland (or know someone who does) give us a call ๐Ÿ“ž on (07) 3371 0795 or book in for a free 15 minute clarity call (link in bio) ๐Ÿ‘†

    Today is World Down Syndrome Day โ€“ it gives us a Today is World Down Syndrome Day โ€“ it gives us a chance to share with those who know us, those who think they know us and those who donโ€™t know us at all โ€“ the challenges and triumphs of living with our amazing son Zigi who has Down Syndrome. He is (as he is affectionately called at his new school) our โ€œhomie with an extra chromieโ€!๐Ÿ˜Ž

This yearโ€™s theme is โ€œWith us, not for usโ€. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

It calls us to challenge our thinking about people with Down Syndrome - not as charity cases or people to be pitied, saved or fixed โ€“ but rather as people. Yes, people. Just like you and me, who are entitled to all of the same human rights we expect for ourselves. ๐Ÿ’ซ

As Zigi starts high school we start to consider his vocational future. We have no idea what that will look like. His academic limitations will likely narrow his options, but it wonโ€™t stop Zigi from aiming for a job that will fit his cheeky personality and allow his unique spark to light others up. ๐ŸŒž

His love of brushing long hair might lead him into the hairdressing industry (Iโ€™d pay money to have him gently brush my hair as part of my trip to the salon). His love of watching families on You Tube might just lead him to set up his own channel (heck, heโ€™ll probably make more money than I do that way)! ๐Ÿ™Œ

We can only hope that his future employers and supporters will see true value in what he can bring โ€“ not because of what he can (or canโ€™t) do but because of who he is. ๐Ÿ’

โ€œWith us, not for usโ€ โ€“ itโ€™s a much-needed powerful shift in thinking that our Zigi will rely on for his future. โœจ๏ธ

Will you join us making that shift and celebrating our gorgeous son today?๐ŸŽ‰

    I've always wondered what acupuncture looks like - I've always wondered what acupuncture looks like - so I asked my beautiful therapist Zarah to take a picture of me! ๐Ÿ“ท

Ha! I look just like a pin cushion don't you think?๐Ÿ“

I have been working with naturopath @katherinemaslen at the @theshiftclinicbrisbane for a while now - adding this to the selfcare menu to get me through! ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ

What are you doing to look after yourself today? ๐Ÿ’
