Our lives and finances are becoming more and more complicated. A property settlement may need to cover a wide range of property including:
There are many factors to consider with property and financial settlements, including:
If you are thinking about a separation, or have already separated, contact us for advice about your rights and entitlements before agreeing to a financial settlement.
We can help you in your discussions with your partner and assist you to reach an agreement about a financial settlement. After meeting with us, you might wish to have direct discussions with your partner to try and reach an agreement, or you might prefer us to negotiate with your partner or their lawyer on your behalf. We will talk to you about the best way of achieving an agreement in your particular situation.
Once an agreement is reached we will prepare the documents needed to finalise the property settlement so that you are protected from further claims from your partner in the future. You can rely on us to implement the agreement including taking care of property transfers, and any changes to companies or trusts.
Our preferred approach is to resolve property and financial matters by agreement wherever possible. This minimises your stress and financial costs. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not possible to reach agreement about property and financial matters. This might be because the other person refuses to negotiate, takes an unreasonable position or threatens to destroy or dispose of assets. In those situations, Family Court proceedings may be necessary. We have the skills and experience to represent you in the Family Court and act decisively and assertively on your behalf.
