Agreement Review Service

Section 90G of the Family Law Act requires each party to the agreement to receive independent legal advice as to the advantages and disadvantages of entering into the Agreement.

Before your financial agreement becomes legally binding it must contain

1. A statement in the body of the agreement by the parties to the effect that they have received legal advice independent of each other and

2. A certificate from the legal adviser that the advice has been provided.

This prevents either party from arguing that, when signing the agreement, they did not understand what they were signing or the consequences thereof.

We have negotiated a reduced rate for our customers with several independent, nationally licensed lawyers who can provide the required advice by telephone and e-mail.

What does this mean for you?

Our Agreement review service assists you to complete your financial agreement properly, meeting the requirements of the Act, with a minimum of fuss and expense.

Of course you are also free to seek your own legal advice with a solicitor of your choice.

The steps involved are fairly simple.

1. Purchase and download the financial agreement kit.

2. Draft your own agreement, referencing the manual and sample agreements supplied.

3. When both parties are happy that the agreement achieves their aims, e-mail your draft to our agreement review service

4. The first party will be contacted by e-mail and telephone to set up a convenient time to examine your agreement, make any adjustments necessary and ensure the document is compliant with the requirements of the Act.

5. The completed draft will be sent to a second independent solicitor who reviews the agreement and makes contact with the second party.

6. When all parties are happy the certificates of legal advice are issued by each solicitor and e-mailed to the clients. Originals will be sent by regular mail.

7. Clients are then free to sign the agreement in front of a witness with each party keeping an original copy.

Collaborating with your spouse to reach and draft your own agreement is a fresh approach to resolving issues that may arise when a relationship ends. Reaching agreement in a non-combative atmosphere minimises costs, empowers the parties and reduces stress.

Our Lawyers understand that both parties have spent considerable time negotiating a mutually acceptable agreement and they simply need the added security and guidance of good legal advice.

The basic financial agreement review service starts from just $330 per partner. If your situation is particularly complicated additional costs may be involved.
