The best way you can help your separating clients

If you are a professional adviser whose clients are in the midst of separation, you should consider referring them to Divorce Partners.

As you can see, Divorce Partners offers clever, inexpensive and highly effective services to help separating couples reach financial settlements quickly.

Referring your separating clients to Divorce Partners will:
  • help your clients reach settlements quickly and inexpensively; and
  • aid your ability to continue your regular work for your clients.
 

When your clients divorce, it affects your ability to provide your professional service to them

Separation or divorce is a watershed event in anyone’s life. It can be tremendously disruptive. A person who is separating is faced with a major reset of most elements of their lives, including their financial foundations. This usually has an impact on several types of professional advisers:

  • For Mental Health Professionals, helping your client deal emotionally with this trauma will be a major element of your work. Unresolved financial issues are often one of the major issues causing them distress.
  • For Accountants, you may lose a client couple or you may need to help them with significant changes to assets, including SMSFs, regulatory notifications, and more. (Read more about the challenges Accountants face with separating clients.)
  • For Financial Advisers, your clients' separations may mean your work goes into limbo for a period - so the shorter the better. Eventually it will usually mean a major shake-up in their assets and investment allocations and divestments, superannuation, insurances, budgeting - impacting virtually all aspects of the planning and advice you provide to them. (Read more about the challenges - and opportunities - for Financial Advisers when clients separate.)
  • For Mortgage Brokers and Conveyancers, separations can mean property divestments or purchases, plus a requirement for clean financial separation (with proper legally binding documentation) in order to satisfy lenders’ and insurers' requirements.
  • For Property Valuers, separations are often the catalyst for valuations, placing you in a good position to alert your clients to a quick and inexpensive mechanism to achieve settlement (which adds to goodwill for your firm).
  • For Real Estate Agents, separating clients sometimes fail to realise the implications of marching towards a property sale without a completed financial settlement. The potential for a disruption to the property sale can be pre-empted if you can alert the clients to the fastest and least expensive path to their separation settlement.


We can get your clients through this challenge (faster and less expensively than anyone)

As a professional adviser, you no doubt want to see your clients preserve as much of their wealth as possible, instead of burning it on legal services - which, frankly, are usually unlikely to deliver a better net financial outcome for them.

Your clients’ best interests include rapid resolution of their financial settlements. We offer the most practical, expedient, inexpensive range of solutions to achieve just that.

If we can help your clients get through this, it's going to help you, too.

So please do read about our Services to see how they can help your clients get through this difficult time to a financially clear outcome.
