What's in the kit

One kit, three documents that work together, plus guidance to help you use them properly.

Financial statement template - to set out what you and your ex-partner each own, owe and earn.
Asset and liability spreadsheet - to work through the full property pool together, line by line.
Settlement agreement template - to record the split you've agreed on, ready for the next step.
A plain-English, step-by-step preparation guide
A completion checklist, so you know what's left to do

Who this kit suits

This kit is built for couples who've already agreed on their property split and want to get organised before deciding on next steps - whether that's formalising things themselves, or upgrading to our fully prepared, lawyer-reviewed service. If you're still working out an agreement rather than recording one, our property settlement mediation page may be a better starting point.

Please read before you buy

This kit is a template and guidance product, not legal advice, and no lawyer reviews your finished documents as part of it. A property settlement formalised this way still benefits from independent legal advice, and in most cases from being converted into consent orders or a binding financial agreement so it's properly enforceable - we recommend having a family lawyer check your documents before you rely on them, and that's something you can add to this kit at any time.

Questions about the DIY Kit

What's included in the Property Settlement DIY Kit?

A financial statement template to set out what you both own and owe, an asset and liability spreadsheet to work through the numbers together, and a settlement agreement template to record what you've agreed - plus a plain-English guide and a completion checklist.

Is a DIY property settlement agreement legally binding on its own?

A settlement agreement you prepare yourselves is a useful record of what you've agreed, but on its own it isn't the same as a court-enforceable outcome. Most couples still formalise their property settlement through consent orders or a binding financial agreement afterwards - our kit is a starting point, not a substitute for that step.

Can I upgrade to the fully reviewed service later?

Yes. If you get partway through and decide you'd rather have an independent family lawyer in our network review everything and help you formalise it properly, you can upgrade at any time - just get in touch.
