Welcome to Arcuri Turnbull Law, where our Property Settlement Lawyers on the Gold Coast possess the knowledge and experience to manage the intricacies of the Financial and Property Settlements process.

When a relationship breaks down there are many challenging considerations and the property and assets of a couple needs a resolution. We know the end of the relationship can be an emotional time. It’s our role to step you through the process and reach a satisfactory agreement. 

Did you know that 85% of Australians who have a legal problem don’t seek legal advice due to the cost and other access issues? This means too many Australians don’t understand their rights and feel trapped in relationships.

 If they do separate, they:

  • struggle to engage a quality lawyer of their choice;
  • self-represent; or
  • settle early for an unfair amount, jeopardising their future financial wellbeing.

We’re delighted to be working with JustFund to level the playing field and empower fairer financial outcomes for our clients. Arcuri Turnbull Law and JustFund can assist you  to get the adviceyou need, achieve a fair outcome and secure your financial wellbeing.

• Division of Assets and Liabilities

After separation, it becomes essential to address all assets and liabilities held individually, jointly, or through various entities like family trust or company. This includes assets and liabilities not only under the parties’ personal names but also those held collectively.

• Superannuation split

Superannuation sometimes represents a significant aspect of the relationship’s property pool. Following separation, both parties are required to disclose their interests in their respective superannuation funds. In some cases, a superannuation split order may be necessary to ensure an equitable distribution.

• Spousal Maintenance

In specific circumstances, separation can lead to one party having a responsibility to support the other in meeting their reasonable expenses. Spousal maintenance is a concept that might require attention and consideration during the property settlement process.

However, the Family Law Act provides a standard four-step process that serves as a foundational framework for achieving equitable property division.

At Arcuri Turnbull law we look at the contributing factors, assist in identifying and quantifying the asset pool and time limits and your individual circumstances.

From objectively looking at expected asset splits, to analysis of liabilities, we are looking to achieve the optimal settlement outcome for you. In Queensland, Property and Financial Settlements can take various forms depending on the specific circumstances. However, there are key elements that typically come into play during these settlements.

Let's unravel the key steps involved in a settlement:

One

We’re made for this bit. Negotiation

We have been negotiating ways to resolve Family Property Disputes and or take preventative action for decades. You need practical strategic advice and thoughtful negotiations to establish the terms of the agreement. There are often three stages to negotiation in Family Law matters. These include the initial discussion, structured negotiations in the form of mediation and negotiations that occur just prior to the case being dealt with by a court. We look for a realistic outcome.

Two

What we strive for. Harmonious Agreement

Once the parties have reached a consensus on the agreement terms, a formal document is crafted. This agreement meticulously outlines the division of assets, the settlement of debts and any other pertinent details crucial to the settlement.

Three

We’ll handle the boring bit for you. Document Exchange

The parties involved in the settlement exchange documents, including deeds, certificates of title and other legal instruments essential to the process.

Four

We’ll handle this for you too. Registration of Documents

Once the settlement has unfolded, all necessary legal documents are registered with the relevant government bodies. This may include the transfer of property ownership or the discharge of a mortgage.

Five

We got there. Completion

Once the document registration and settlement money has reached its finalisation, the settlement is officially complete.
