What are the meanings of terms used in the application documents?
Deponent: The Executor swearing the affidavit is deposing to the facts. Therefore the executor, the applicant and the deponent are one and the same in this type of application. Movable and immovable property: The distinction can be complex and if there is any doubt you should consult a lawyer. However, “immovable” property includes land and buildings, whilst everything else can usually be regarded as movable. Assets or debts inside or outside WA: Most items should be obvious as to which state or territory they lay within, but care should be taken with shares and their location. The location is determined by location of the share register. For example, if the share registry is in Melbourne, it should be shown as outside WA.
