Property Matters

Property matters relate to dealing with the assets, liabilities and financial resources belonging to one or both parties to a marriage or de facto relationship. To navigate this in a practical and cost-effective way, we strongly recommend seeking the assistance of a family lawyer. We are experienced in all aspects of property settlement issues that might arise following the breakdown of a relationship.

It is a common occurrence for parties to struggle to come to an agreement when handling joint assets. Our team can provide you with advice and guidance to assist in any dispute resolution that may come up as a result. However, if you and your former partner have come to an agreement, we can efficiently and cost-effectively prepare the necessary paperwork to make that agreement formal.

Every circumstance is unique, and we understand that a cookie cutter approach is out of the question. Our experience enables us to guide clients through property settlements across a range of situations including;

• Preparation of Consent Orders
• Preparation of Financial Agreements;
• Representation at all stages of the process from negotiation to litigation (if necessary)
• Dealing with complex trust and company structures
• Third party interests
• Identification of assets, including ensuring all assets are disclosed;
• Determining the value of assets to be divided, including appointing valuers if necessary;
• Spousal maintenance

We are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for our clients when dealing with property matters. If you are looking to speak to a family lawyer in Perth about property matters, please contact us today.
