In this week's episode, Julie inquired about an inheritance taken by a stepmother, and Nick advised that the beneficiary, having mental capacity, is entitled to the money and can take legal steps if it's not distributed within a year. Anthony thanked Nick for previous legal advice that resolved a property damage issue with a contractor. A listener asked about notifying neighbours when building a band practice room, to which Nick suggested informing them if noise might be an issue. Veronica sought advice on subdividing a strata property, and Nick explained the need for consent from all owners and the involvement of the WA planning commission. Finally, another listener, Nick, questioned the legality of annual pool levy inspections, which Nick Marouchak offered to investigate further.
