Binding Financial Agreements

A Binding Financial Agreement, also known as a prenuptial agreement or a financial settlement agreement, is a legally binding document that sets out the financial arrangements between parties in the event of a relationship breakdown.

A BFA can be made whether you are in a de-facto situation or married, and can be agreed upon before or during a relationship.

The benefits of a BFA include avoiding expensive legal fees if the relationship was to end and can be useful in situations where there are inherited assets to protect or to ensure children from previous relationships get their portion of the inheritance.
