Whilst COVID-19 is still soaring around the world, not only have countless lives been taken away and has the global economy plummeted, but also complex legal issues has been faced by the public. In the midst of these difficult circumstances, Derek Lo and the Victorian Chinese Women’s Association organised a legal seminar for members to answer their legal questions about property, family and business matters.
In Australia, more than thousands of families have gone to court every year in regard to inheritance distribution, which in turn causing people to spend millions of legal fees. Given this, Derek Lo participated in a legal seminar organized by Tianshi Care Australia Group and share his knowledge about how to avoid resentment and conflicts for their loved ones after they pass away.
