DIVIDING REAL ESTATE IN A PROPERTY SETTLEMENT
When it comes to family law, 'property settlement' is about much more than the family home. It covers assets like cars, investment properties, business interests, superannuation, shares and even household contents. In saying that, the family home is often the most valuable (and emotional) asset to settle on.
When going through a divorce, if you leave the family home, you don't lose your right to a share of it. Even if one person gets the home, the other still has a right to a fair share of the assets.
The person staying in the home might have to buy out the other's share or refinance the mortgage in their name only. When dividing real estate, it's a good idea to hire expert property conveyancing lawyers who can ensure smooth property transactions. BlueRock's Conveyancing team can help!
