The 5th edition of the booklet,
Tax Issues in Family Law Property Settlements, authored by
Peter Szabo,
Family Law Principal, Moores Legal, has just been released.
This booklet was first published for the Australian Family Lawyer's National Convention in October 1998, and has been constantly revised and updated.
Television Education Network has produced several videos and audios based on this booklet.
Family lawyers involved in financial matters are really undertaking forced estate planning. As such, they and the financial experts also involved need to come to grips with the full ramifications of their work in this regard.
This practical booklet covers the strategies that need to be understood by family lawyers when negotiating a family law property settlement or formulating orders to be made by the Family Court. Accountants and financial planners may also find this booklet of assistance when creating a financial plan for their clients. With care, the inevitable financial loss to both parties can be kept to a minimum, and unwanted revenue expenses can be avoided. For example, transfers of real estate pursuant to financial agreements under Section 90 of the Family Law Act (which replaced section 86 and section 87 Agreements as from 28 December 2000) did not attract CGT rollover relief until 12 December 2006. This is despite an announcement in the May 2005 Federal Budget that they would. Royal assent was slow in coming. Failure to take such issues into account can have disastrous consequences for the client, with a corresponding negligence action against the professional adviser.
