Property Settlements

Property settlements involve the division of assets and liabilities following the breakdown of a relationship. These matters can be complex, particularly where property interests extend beyond the family home and include businesses, trusts, superannuation, or other financial arrangements.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides advice on property settlements, assisting clients to understand how property is identified, valued, and divided under family law. Our approach is structured and practical, focused on helping clients assess their position and make informed decisions about resolution.

​

Property settlement considerations may include real property, savings, investments, superannuation, debts, and financial resources. We advise clients on how the legal framework is applied in practice, including contributions made during the relationship and future needs considerations.

​

Where appropriate, we support negotiated outcomes and assist with formalising agreements through consent orders or financial agreements. Where disputes arise, we provide clear advice on procedural options, risks, and next steps. In suitable matters, advice may be offered on an agreed, fixed-fee basis through Crownmark Assured Pricing (CAP) to provide clarity around scope and costs.
