Property and Financial Settlements

Resolve property matters and finalise financial settlements with the help of an experienced Watts McCray lawyer

Property and financial settlements can be complex, and require specialist skill and experience to secure your financial future in view of changing family circumstances.

Our Family lawyers are experienced in analysing property settlement issues including complex financial arrangements involving trusts and companies, and are competent in assessing the optimum presentation of property settlement cases. Our lawyers are able to clearly advise you on your entitlements and the likely outcome of a property settlement case if it proceeds to Court. We can also represent you through all stages of Court cases where the division of assets requires determination.

Property settlement and financial matters often extend beyond just the final division of assets. Other aspects include negotiating and preparing a Binding Financial Agreement, advice on a Power of Attorney, Estate Planning or taking action to secure and preserve assets through injunctions prior to final property settlement if your partner takes action to wrongly dispose of assets or decrease the value of property available for division.

Our specialisation in Family Law is complemented by expertise in Commercial and Property Law, including Real Estate, Conveyancing, Mortgages, Leasing and Stamp Duties. This allows us to advise you with an overview of your situation, and to help you consider the full implications of the decisions you make. The implementation of property settlements (after final property settlement Orders have been made) can be handled by the commercial arm of Watts McCray. They can also assist you in any proposed sale or purchase of property and the related financing arrangements.

Above all, we believe it is extremely important to offer you realistic advice, with the intention of finalising matters to your satisfaction as early as possible, and ensuring a clean financial break from your partner in circumstances of relationship breakdown.
