For anyone going through a separation, understanding how property is divided is crucial, and having the right legal advice from a property settlement lawyer can make all the difference. When a couple separates, dividing their property can be a complex and emotional process. In Australia, property settlements are guided by the Family Court, which takes into consideration various factors unique to each case.
At Rowan Skinner & Associates Lawyers, we help clients navigate these property disputes with expert guidance, ensuring they receive the best possible outcome. If you’re seeking a property settlement lawyer to advise you on how your assets might be divided, this blog provides an overview and helpful links to further resources.
The Role of a Property Settlement Lawyer
If you are looking for a lawyer to advise you on how property is split in a separation in Australia, we have the answer to those questions on the below link (See ‘How Does the Court Divide Property’).
Each case, however, is quite different and lawyers rely on precedents and guideline judgements of the Family Court when giving advice. For example, if an inheritance is involved in a family law property settlement, the timing of receipt of the inheritance might affect whether the party who is not the beneficiary of the property has an entitlement to the inheritance.
