Complex Property Settlements in Family Law
Complex property settlements in family law involve intricate financial arrangements that require careful consideration and accurate legal guidance from experts who are Accredited Specialists in Family Law.
Types of Assets in Complex Property Settlements
These settlements can include a wide range of assets such as real estate, businesses, trusts, and superannuation funds, as well as assets overseas and intermingling of assets with people outside of the relationship – such as extended families, friends and business partners.
The Importance of Understanding Asset Value
When dealing with complex property settlements, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of the value and nature of all assets involved. At ALA Law, our team of experts will examine asset holdings, understand their true nature, and obtain professional valuations and financial advice to ensure an accurate assessment and understanding of the current asset pool.
Once the team has defined and determined the asset holdings, we can provide tailored advice on how to deal with the asset pool as well as individual asset holdings from a personal and business perspective as part of the property settlement.
Mediation for Resolving Disputes
For the next step, mediation can be a valuable approach to resolve disputes amicably. Mediation enables a comprehensive negotiation process, providing flexibility in outcomes that can benefit all parties while minimising tax implications and protecting future wealth growth. It also allows parties to consult with neutral third party financial experts (known as ‘financial neutrals’) or even a trust accountant or financial planner. These professionals can help reach a resolution that minimises financial loss and mitigates long term impacts, rather than simply dividing assets without regard for future consequences.

However, when mediation is not possible or unsuccessful, litigation may be necessary. This is where the advocate team at ALA LAW really shine. In such cases, it’s crucial to have a skilled family lawyer who can help you navigate the legal system and advocate for your best interests.
