Property Settlement Lawyer Canberra

We are here to assist clients in choosing the service most suited to their situation. Discover when a property settlement lawyer in Canberra would be of value to you. 

• If you and your partner understand and agree on how to divide all your assets, then we can guide you in formalising the terms of the agreement so that it is legally binding and enforceable. While you may want to avoid court and the extra costs associated with it, you want experienced legal advice, nonetheless.
• There may be a contentious issue around a division of your property. In these cases, we will represent you and negotiate with your partner’s lawyer on your behalf until we arrive at a mutually acceptable settlement. We will not finalise any decisions without your consent. Using this process, it may ease tensions if you do not have to interface with your partner.
• When it is necessary to take the issues to court, we will represent you in contested proceedings, and remain by your side until the court decides on the property settlement.

Property settlement issues are complex, which is why you need a lawyer. You don’t want to make mistakes that could have long-term consequences. We will advise you through each step of the process so that you can rest assured that the final decisions are fair and equitable.

• There is a host of details in identifying and valuing your assets, liabilities, and financial resources of each partner. The process could be somewhat simple if the only assets are the home and the cars. However, when a business must be valued, it can become complex very quickly.
• Assessing financial and non-financial contributions by both you and your partner is necessary before concluding a settlement. It may become complicated if one person has more assets or an inheritance or a personal injury settlement than the other. 
• Whether we are negotiating with your partner’s lawyer or advising you during court proceedings, we want to ensure that the settlement meets your needs as you go forward into the future.
