I recently went through a 9 month property settlement which was taxing and difficult. Bronte and the team were very helpful throughout the experience. Being only 25 at the time and having a very aggressive legal team against me, I appreciated the calm approach to my legal matters. At times it felt excessive and overwhelming but their approach was logical and they did the best they could to get this done in a timely manner. However, the other side did not make it easy. The team was great a navigating through some curve balls, diffusing unintentional issues with the other side and responding to my requests. I felt they understood my goal for my settlement and tried their best to keep it simple. I didn’t understand a lot of the legal process but I received the outcome I set out for when I engaged their service. We finally got there, Thanks for your help, and service through this case Bronte as well as Trent and the rest of the team.

Financial Agreements

Asset Protection and Financial Agreements

A court may divide the assets of a de facto relationship if lasted for a least 2 years.

Financial Agreements are written private agreements, in which parties to a marriage or de facto relationship can document their agreement as to the division of property, superannuation and spousal maintenance. Financial Agreements can be entered into before, during or after the end of a de facto relationship or marriage.

Provided the Financial Agreement is prepared correctly, it will prevent the Family Law Court from interfering with or making orders inconsistent with what is agreed and contained in the Financial Agreement. Financial Agreements can include third parties such as creditors, family members, family companies and trusts. There is no requirement for a Financial Agreement to be approved or registered with any Family Law Court. Financial Agreements, which are prepared properly, are the only method of resolving property and spousal maintenance disputes without a court order.

Finance & Assets Lawyers

We understand that finance & assets can differ & be complex.

We can assist with the following:

Financial Agreements

Applications

Financial Agreements can be used to

1. In Queensland, limit the possibility of estate claims;

2. To provide greater protection of assets from the interference of the Family Law Court than simply holding them in a trust or family company;

3. Protect the accumulation of significant pre-relationship assets or to protect assets for children of a prior relationship;

4. Protect expected substantial inheritance, particularly in farming cases where the family fortune maybe a rural property;

5. Protect loans from a spouse’s parent or other third party which may otherwise not be classified as a loan by the Family Law Court; and

6. Protect a “granny flat” investment; where a parent or parents of one of the spouses applied funds to the matrimonial home to facilitate extension or renovation to accommodate them.

To ensure that Financial Agreements are effective, it is critically important that appropriate time and planning is undertaken in the preparation and review of a Financial Agreement. This will ensure that the Financial Agreement accurately reflects the wishes and intentions of all parties to the agreement and that it properly considers corporate and trust entities, self managed superannuation funds and any tax implications.
