Don't Let Today's Handshake Become Tomorrow's Legal Fight

Have you reached an agreement with your spouse, de facto partner, or ex about how you’ll handle your financial assets? You might both be on the same page now. But until the terms are in a Binding Financial Agreement, you’re relying on goodwill and handshake promises.

At The Legal Drafter, you’ll get a Binding Financial Agreement prepared by a qualified family lawyer, for an affordable fixed fee. You’ll both know exactly where you stand, and you can protect your assets without worrying about expensive legal problems later.

Why A Cheap Template Could Be An Expensive Mistake

There are strict requirements for a Binding Financial Agreement to hold up. If you do it yourself or use a cheap template, it might be too late by the time you find out you’re not protected. Your agreement could be set aside, leaving you to waste months of your time and thousands of dollars trying to clean up the mess.

With 15+ years of family law experience, we prepare your Binding Financial Agreement around your property, super, savings, debts and financial terms. You can rest easy knowing your agreement has been documented by a qualified family lawyer.

Save $1,000s On Lawyers Who Turn A Simple Agreement Into A Billable Project

If you’ve already agreed on who gets what, the next step is getting it drafted. Why let a traditional lawyer turn that into months of letters, emails and phone calls at hundreds of dollars an hour?

You need a qualified lawyer to formalise what you’ve already decided, not reopen it. Tell us what you’ve agreed, and we’ll prepare your Binding Financial Agreement, without dragging you back through conversations you’ve already had.

The #1 Myth About Binding Financial Agreements

A lot of people worry that asking for a Binding Financial Agreement means they’re setting the relationship up to fail. But leaving the money side of things sitting in conversations, texts and good intentions can create far more stress later.

Whether you’re getting married, moving in together or trying to document agreed terms after separation, a Binding Financial Agreement can turn awkward money conversations into clear written terms. That means less confusion, fewer assumptions and more peace of mind for both sides.

The Legal Drafter Can Help If You Are:

Getting Married

Protect what you’re bringing in, before money becomes an awkward conversation later.

Already Married

Put your financial agreement in writing, while things are still amicable.

Separated

Put your agreed split in writing — the house, debts, super, and savings.

Already Divorced

Document any unresolved financial matters, once and for all.

Moving In Together

Safeguard your assets before you move in together.

In A De Facto Relationship

Set out your finances clearly, before confusion turns into conflict.

Separated From A De Facto Partner

Put your agreed split in writing, not just a verbal promise.
