Relationship property – we get you sorted.

Protect the property rights between you and your partner

Whether you are entering a relationship or leaving one, there are important property matters to consider. If you are looking for a relationship property lawyer who is understanding, friendly and approachable and will give you reliable advice regarding your property rights then our team is here to help.

Having clear arrangements regarding your assets before you enter a relationship is a wise move. We can help you to create an agreement that protects your assets and ensures you and your partner are on the same page. These agreements are now commonplace, particularly in the Auckland housing market where parents are increasingly having financial involvement in their adult children’s property purchases.

If you’re leaving a relationship, we are here to help and advise you on your rights and obligations. We have a talented team of lawyers who are known for being pragmatic negotiators. Our clients know we have their back when they most need it.
