Binding Financial Agreement Lawyers
What Is a Binding Financial Agreement?
A binding financial agreement is a legal contract between parties in a relationship. It sets out how assets, debts, and financial obligations will be divided if the relationship ends. This agreement can be made before, during, or after a relationship. It aims to provide certainty and reduce the need for court intervention by clarifying each party’s financial rights. Binding financial agreements must meet strict legal requirements, including independent legal advice for both parties. Our binding financial agreement lawyers help ensure that the agreement complies with Australian law while protecting your interests.
When to Consider a Binding Financial Agreement
- When you wish to protect personal assets before entering a relationship.
- When one party owns a business or holds significant individual assets.
- When there is a financial disparity between the parties.
- When you have children from previous relationships.
- When you want to minimise potential disputes in the future.
Steps to Obtain a Binding Financial Agreement
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We meet with you to assess your financial situation and explain the binding financial agreement process. During this session, we outline your options and discuss how the agreement can protect your interests.
Step 2: Drafting the Agreement
Our team prepares a preliminary draft that details the division of assets, debts, and financial obligations. We tailor the document to reflect your unique circumstances.
Step 3: Coordinating Independent Legal Advice
Both parties receive independent legal advice. We will advise you and liaise and communicate with the other party’s legal advisor to ensure the Agreement is certified correctly. This step confirms that you fully understand the agreement and that it meets all legal requirements.
Step 4: Review and Finalisation
We review the draft with you, incorporate any necessary changes, and finalise the document once both parties agree on the terms. Our support continues through the signing process, ensuring the agreement becomes legally enforceable.
