  • Financial provision for children

Wealth Protection

For most people, getting married or moving in together is a big decision. One area that couples worry about is what would happen to their assets in the event they were to separate. Hall Brown can protect wealth by way of:

  • Cohabitation Agreements
  • Pre and Post Nuptial Agreements

Unmarried Couples

When a relationship breaks down - if a couple has lived together but are not married it can be difficult to know what the position is in relation to their finances when they separate. Hall Brown has the experience to take that history, consider those details and guide you through the process to secure an entitlement you might have or protect an asset being pursued.
