TEST II - MINI CASE-LET (10 Marks) Olivia was an old woman who had been living independently for many years after her husband passed away. She was starting to find the family home difficult to maintain, especially after she had a fall and injured her wrist. Olivia's only son Joe was living at a faraway place. Joe was finding it difficult to visit his mother regularly because of the demands of his two young children. He suggested that his mother sell her house and use the money to build an extension on his house, where she could live and be closer to her grandchildren. Olivia was concerned about the financial impact of selling her house, so she saw a lawyer who advised that she should be very clear about the details of this arrangement. Once she had sold her principal asset, it would be very hard to reverse the situation if things didn't work out. Although they were not in a dispute, the lawyer suggested she and her family have a family meeting' run by a Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria facilitator. Olivia spoke to one of the Dispute Settlement Centre's Dispute Assessment Officers who then contacted her children to organize a time for the family to meet. Some of the issues the facilitator helped them explore in the meeting were the impact of the sale of the house, and whether Olivia's investment in her son's house was intended as a gift or as an investment. They talked about possible arrangements should Olivia's health deteriorate, as well as living arrangements, such as their mutual expectations in terms of housework, gardening and helping to look after her grandchildren. At the end of the meeting it was agreed that Joe would provide ongoing care for his mother in exchange for the money she would invest in his house. The family members received a detailed written agreement and they left the meeting satisfied the issues had been resolved. 1.
