Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the transfer documents, the trust deed and the financial records the lawyer selects, build a table of the date, the property, the consideration, whether the transferee is a related entity of the transferor, and any record of insolvency. Do not write the advice. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Check the date, property and consideration against the transfer documents.
- Under section 120, record the five-year period and the shorter periods in which solvency is a defence, including the four-year period for a related entity.
- Under section 121, record whether the main purpose of defeating creditors can be inferred from insolvency at the time of the transfer.
- The lawyer writes the advice. The table is not the advice.
