Property Settlement

You and your ex-partner have already agreed on how to split your property and assets. We'll turn that agreement into a proper, formal settlement, reviewed by a family lawyer, at a fixed price confirmed upfront.

Agreeing on who keeps what is the hard part, and you've already done it. Turning that agreement into a proper, formal settlement is largely paperwork from here, not another negotiation. That's exactly what this service is for.

What is a property settlement?

A property settlement is the formal division of assets, debts and superannuation between two people who've separated - houses, savings, vehicles, shares, super, and anything else you own together or separately. Once you've agreed on the split, it still needs to be properly documented and, depending on your situation, formalised through the courts so it holds up over time.

Prefer to prepare the paperwork yourself first? Our Property Settlement DIY Kit bundles a financial statement template, an asset and liability spreadsheet, and a settlement agreement template to get you started.

Superannuation, mediation and timing

Superannuation is treated separately from your other property under Australian law, with its own splitting rules - see our superannuation splitting page for how that works. If you're still working towards an agreement rather than formalising one you've already reached, our property settlement mediation page explains how mediation fits alongside this service. And if you've already divorced and are wondering whether you've left it too late, our property settlement after divorce page covers the general time limits that apply.

Scope

This service is for couples who've already agreed on their property split and just need it prepared and formalised properly. It doesn't cover contested settlements or complex asset pools - trusts, self-managed super funds, or business valuation disputes. If your situation includes any of that, we'll tell you honestly and point you to a family lawyer who handles matters of that kind.

Serving every major city in Australia

Property settlement is governed by federal law, so the process is the same everywhere - here's more detail if you're searching from one of these cities:

Questions people ask us about property settlement

How is property settlement calculated in Australia?

There's no fixed formula - a court (or an agreement reached without going to court) generally looks at what you both own together and separately, what each of you contributed financially and otherwise, and what each of you will need going forward. We don't calculate a split for you: this service is for couples who've already agreed on the numbers and just need that agreement prepared and reviewed properly.

Do we need a lawyer for property settlement?

You don't need to hire your own lawyer to negotiate anything, since this service is for situations where you've both already agreed on the split. An independent family lawyer in our network still reviews your documents before anything is finalised, so everything is properly prepared, not just filled in.

What happens to superannuation in a property settlement?

Superannuation can be split as part of a property settlement, under its own set of rules separate from other assets. See our superannuation splitting page for how that works and how we help you formalise it.

Is there a time limit for property settlement after divorce?

Generally, yes - Australian law sets time limits for applying for property settlement orders after a divorce or separation, though the specifics and any exceptions depend on your situation. See our property settlement after divorce page for more detail, or get in touch and we can talk through your timing.
