We assist with, among other things:
Separation and Divorce
We advise clients in connection with separation and divorce, including matters relating to the division of assets, financial arrangements, spousal maintenance, and the legal consequences of the breakdown of a relationship. We help clients understand their rights, options, and the process ahead.
Division of Assets and Financial Matters
We assist with the division of assets between spouses and advise on the allocation of property, debts, and other financial matters. Our services include assessments of assets, separate property arrangements, and the financial implications of separation or divorce.
Prenuptial Agreements and Co-Ownership Agreements
We advise on the preparation of prenuptial agreements, co-ownership agreements, and other arrangements between spouses or cohabiting partners. Clear agreements can play an important role in preventing future disputes and creating financial certainty.
Cohabitation and Unmarried Partners
We assist unmarried couples with legal advice relating to financial arrangements, ownership structures, shared homes, and other legal issues arising from cohabitation. Unmarried partners are often not subject to the same legal protections as married couples, making legal advice particularly important.
Parental Responsibility, Residence, and Contact Arrangements
We advise on matters involving children, including parental responsibility, residence, contact arrangements, and cooperation between parents. We help identify solutions that take into account both the best interests of the child and the rights of the parents.
Wills and Estate Planning
We assist with the preparation of wills and advise on inheritance matters, succession planning, and the distribution of estates. Proper estate planning can provide clarity and help prevent disputes between beneficiaries and family members.
Estates and Probate Matters
We advise beneficiaries and family members in connection with deceased estates and probate matters. We assist with the legal and financial aspects of estate administration as well as communication with relevant authorities and other parties involved.
Forced Heirship and Inheritance Disputes
We assist in inheritance disputes, including matters relating to forced heirship, the interpretation of wills, and disagreements between beneficiaries. Inheritance disputes are often both legally and emotionally complex and require a careful and strategic approach.
Lasting Powers of Attorney and Guardianship
We advise on the establishment of lasting powers of attorney and matters relating to guardianship. These arrangements can be essential in ensuring that personal and financial affairs are managed according to an individual's wishes in the event of illness or loss of capacity.
Conflict Resolution and Agreements
We assist with negotiations and the preparation of agreements between parties, focusing on achieving clear, practical, and sustainable solutions both within and outside formal dispute processes.
Confidential and Personalised Advice
Family and inheritance matters often involve significant personal and financial considerations. We therefore place great emphasis on confidentiality, clear communication, and the professional handling of each individual matter.
