Am I entitled to legal representation if all of my property is frozen?
- Yes. In some situations a court may allow you to use a portion of your assets to pay for legal representation as confiscation applications do not usually qualify for legal aid.
- In some states a court may also release assets so that you are able to meet your reasonable living expenses including:
- groceries;
- children’s school fees;
- mortgages; or
- other loan payments.
