Your asset pool includes items owned by you and your ex – like your house, mortgage, cars, bank accounts, shares, loans and superannuation. Basically, anything which is understood to be ‘yours’, even if it has someone else’s name on it. It can also include:

– a family business, including business cars and bank accounts.

– An inheritance you’re about to receive from a late loved one who has already passed away (or, with a lot of “ifs”, someone who is about to pass away).

– Money which you could be entitled to from a family trust.

– Money which someone legitimately else owes to you.

Usually, your lawyers sort out the ‘big ticket’ items and the parties sort out the smaller items (like furniture and kitchen appliances) between themselves. Although, if you have sentimental smaller items you want included in your settlement, we can help you with that too.
