Binding Financial Agreement Lawyers Melbourne
Binding financial agreement advice for Melbourne clients, including drafting, negotiation, review and enforceability risk management.
Understanding Binding Financial Agreements
A binding financial agreement can be a useful risk-management tool when one or both parties want greater certainty about assets, liabilities, inheritances, businesses or family wealth. It is often called a prenup or postnup, but the legal document is a binding financial agreement made under the Family Law Act.
Because these agreements are frequently challenged after separation, the drafting needs to be precise and the process needs to be done properly. Vitt Legal advises Melbourne clients on whether a BFA is the right tool, drafts and negotiates agreements, and reviews agreements prepared by the other side. We focus on enforceability, clear disclosure and a structure that fits the realities of the relationship.
