A Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) is a legally binding written agreement between two people about how their assets and liabilities will be divided in the event of a relationship breakdown (marriage or de facto). BFAs can be made before, during, or after a relationship.
For a BFA to be valid, it must meet strict legal requirements, including being in writing, signed by both parties, contain a statement that each party has received independent legal advice before signing, and include a copy of that advice. The agreement also cannot have been entered into under duress or fraud
BFAs provide certainty and clarity about how assets will be divided if a relationship ends, potentially avoiding costly and stressful court disputes. They allow couples to make their own arrangements based on their specific circumstances, rather than having a court decide according to general principles. BFAs can also protect pre-relationship assets or business interests.
