Property sharing agreements
If your circumstances require it, we can also prepare property sharing agreements or contracting out agreements. Property sharing agreements are contracts between co-owners of a property setting out the arrangements regarding the property and what may happen in the future with the property.
They can be suitable for a range of situations such as when parents and children purchase a property together, where siblings or friends purchase together, or where siblings inherit property from their parents.
The agreements will usually cover a range of issues including how the property is beneficially owned, how the property’s outgoings and expenses will be met, the process for a co-owner wanting to sell, and the resolution of any disputes that may arise.
Having these agreements in place at the outset of a property acquisition can often prevent a costly and time-consuming problem further down the track. Talk to us about protecting your asset and
Contracting Out Agreements are agreements between couples who do not want their property to be divided in the way set out in the Property (Relationships) Act 1976. These agreements enable couples to make their own private agreement to determine the status and division of property upon separation or death. In order for the agreement to be valid it must meet certain legal formalities.
