Review, advice, negotiation, major alterations to the existing agreement and signed certificate of Independent Legal Advice
For a Binding Financial Agreement to be valid, each party must (as per the Family Law Act) receive independent legal advice as to;
(a) The effect of this agreement on their rights; and
(b) The advantages and disadvantages, at the time that the advice was provided, to the client of making the agreement.
This must be from a registered legal practitioner (solicitor), who signs a certificate within the agreement to confirm the advice has been given.
As a result, one firm is legally unable to provide both sides of the advice.
