Property Settlement

Following a separation, married and de facto often have assets that need to be divided between them.  A property settlement is the means to do this whilst minimising any stamp duty on the transfer of assets.  We can assist you with finalising all outstanding financial matters between you and your estranged spouse or partner.  This can be done by way of a Court order (whether by consent or through litigation) or a Binding Financial Agreement.  Once final orders are made you can confidently begin your new phase in life without worrying that your former spouse or partner may make a further financial claim.

At Lynn and Brown, we like to exhaust all avenues of negotiation and mediation before commencing court proceedings (in most cases) to avoid the expense, both financial and emotion, involved in court proceedings.
