What is Property Settlement?

Property settlement involves the division of assets, liabilities, and financial resources between separating couples. This process includes everything from the family home and bank accounts to superannuation, investments, and debts. At Eliza Legal, we understand that every property settlement is unique, and our goal is to tailor our approach to suit your specific circumstances.

Key Factors in Property Settlement:

• Asset Valuation: Accurate valuation of all assets, including real estate, vehicles, and personal belongings.
• Financial Contributions: Consideration of each party’s financial and non-financial contributions throughout the relationship.
• Future Needs: Assessment of each party’s future financial needs, including earning capacity and care of dependents.
• Legal Timeframes: You have 12 months from the date of your divorce to finalise a property settlement, so timely legal advice is crucial.
