My partner and I have already been living together for 3 years. We are planning to have children. I will shortly receive a substantial inheritance. If we enter a BFA should we state our property from 3 years ago or now?
Lawyer Answers (1): Answers from lawyers are general preliminary responses. They are not formal legal advice and cannot taken account of all your circumstances. They do not create a lawyer–client relationship.
Answer by Penelope Stevens of Faraday Law, Brisbane 4000 Qld
- You should do both.
- The BFA should ensure you both agree on:
- the current financial position;
- how you got there; and
- your desire to formalise your intentions for the future.
