If you've already agreed on a settlement deal with your former partner, you need to record your understanding in a legally binding document.
That gives you both certainty and protection for the future. Without a legally binding agreement, one of you could change your mind in the future and seek more money from the other. So you can think of a legally binding settlement like insurance - a small amount you spend now to prevent a disaster down the track. Legal documents are also required if your intended deal involves a superannuation transfer between you. And in most cases, they allow property transfers between you to be exempted from stamp duty.
