Sometimes real estate agents will insert their choice of conveyancer into the Offer and Acceptance, to act on your behalf. This is usually someone they have had dealings with before. If you don't want to use whoever the real estate agent selects you don't have to. Just let them know that you wish to use Ellery Brookman and then write "Ellery Brookman" at the base of the Offer and Acceptance as your choice of conveyancer.
Unfortunately we cannot provide family law assistance to Legal Aid clients. If due to your circumstances you cannot fund your own representation in a children's matter, you should speak to Legal Aid directly.
Write "Ellery Brookman" at the base of your Offer and Acceptance as your choice of conveyancer. The real estate agent will then send the Offer and Acceptance to us and we will get in touch with you once we receive it.
Yes, we can. It's not uncommon for clients to require the drafting of an offer and acceptance if they are buying land from or selling land to a family member or friend. If you contact us to make an appointment we can help you prepare the paperwork you require as well as going on to effect the settlement on your behalf.
Yes, we would be more than happy to provide you with advice about whether your offer and acceptance addresses all of your needs and requirements before you sign it. We will provide you with this advice for a fixed fee of $220. This is a popular service as it enables you to be confident about a contract which might have been drawn up by someone else and which - realistically - deals with one of the biggest decisions you are likely to make in your lifetime.
Yes, we can, and will advise you on ways of doing this which will be exempt from transfer (stamp) duty.
In most cases, yes, you will need to make an upfront payment or set up a regular deposit of funds into our trust account in order for us to provide you with family law representation. Sometimes arrangements can be made for payment on the sale of property or when funds are received from the other party in property disputes. We are happy to discuss these issues with you.
We must act for one party or the other. We cannot act for both and you should not bring your ex-partner with you to your initial appointment. You are most welcome to bring any other family or friends to your appointment for support.
You should make arrangements for your children to be cared for as they are unable to attend family law appointments.
