Expert Property Settlement Lawyers in Adelaide for Fair and Efficient Resolutions
When a relationship breaks down, property settlement can be one of the most complex and stressful aspects to resolve. At Matti Lamb & Associates, our experienced property settlement lawyers in Adelaide provide clear, practical legal advice to help you reach a fair and timely resolution.
What Is Property Settlement?
Property settlement is the legal process of dividing assets, liabilities, and financial resources between separating couples, whether married or in de facto relationships. It legally finalises your financial affairs and helps both parties move forward.

- Assessing and valuing assets and liabilities such as property, superannuation, bank accounts, and debts

- Representing you in court if negotiations fail and litigation becomes necessary
- Advising on financial agreements including binding financial agreements before, during, or after a relationship

- Length of the relationship
- Contributions made by each party (financial and non-financial)
