Cutting Edge Advice

Complex property settlements require financial expertise to ensure that you are fully aware of the financial and taxation consequences associated with your property settlement.

Family lawyers tend to concentrate on the division of property on a percentages basis – i.e. whether you get 60% or some other percentage, of the property pool. What this translates to however, in terms of exactly which assets you end up retaining, also needs to be considered with great care.

It may be more advantageous for you to retain some assets over others, depending on your personal circumstances and needs. We recognise when its to your advantage to refer you to seek professional financial advice and work together with them as a team.
