Reaching an Agreement
Whether you are determined to have an amicable separation, or if it’s turning into a fight fraught with tension and irreconcilable differences, we aim to assist our clients with reaching a fair and equitable solution with regards to property.
The key to property settlement is having a solid strategy to help guide the decisions made throughout the process. It is labour intensive, particularly where there is strong disagreement, however the right advice can enable you to come out financially better off, even after legal fees.
Financial Implication in Settlement
There are a number of financial implications to be aware of when making agreements around property. These include, but are not limited to minimising transfer and stamp duty fees, splitting superannuation holdings, consideration of debts as well as assets and the possibility of the income generating party losing up to 100% of their assets if settlement is not agreed.
At Leach Legal we often refer our clients on to a trusted network of Accountants, Financial Planners, Forensic Accountants, Valuers, Brokers and Barristers, or we work closely with your own to ensure a fair outcome with minimal taxes and fees associated with the transfer of assets. We are also able to offer our clients Business and Property settlement services when assets change hands.
Superannuation
Superannuation is a significant asset that will be taken into account when dividing property. When you purchase our De Novo Guide to an amicable separation, we provide you with the necessary forms for you to investigate you and your partner’s superannuation holdings. If you wish for more comprehensive Legal Representation, then we are able to do this time consuming work for you and can take advice from your Financial Planner as to the most cost effective way of approaching negotiations with how to divide these assets.
"My ex took me to Court, but once I went to Leach Legal they were very proactive. Instead of just answering the other side all the time, they conducted the case to ensure we were one step ahead. At Trial they were head and shoulders above the other side and I got exactly the result I wanted."
