Abstract

As home ownership becomes an increasingly distant reality for many Australians, traditional forms of household composition are giving way to more diverse shared living arrangements. One such arrangement involves the so-called granny flat, whereby a parent joins the household of their adult children, often to support care for their grandchildren. As explained by Patricia Lane in this journal in 2018, questions as to the underlying equitable title arise where this arrangement is accompanied by the parent’s contribution to the acquisition or renovation of the property. One such case was determined by the NSW Court of Appeal in December 2019, in 'Flourentzou v Spink'. Mrs Spink was successful in her claim for an equitable charge over the home of her daughter and son-in-law, the Flourentzous.
