The things people ask before they start.
What is a BFA, and is it the same as a prenup?
A Binding Financial Agreement is the Australian legal name for the agreement most people call a prenup. It is a written contract under the Family Law Act 1975 that sets out what happens to your property, debts and superannuation if you separate. It can be signed before you marry or move in, during the relationship, or after you separate.
We do not own much yet. Is a BFA still worth it?
Often, yes. A BFA covers what you have now and what comes later, such as an inheritance, a business, a first home or the growth in your super. Couples who agree the rules early, while there is little to argue about, tend to find it the easiest time to do it. If your quiz result says there is no rush, that is an honest read, and the free guide is a good place to start.
Is it legally binding?
Yes. For a BFA to be binding, both of you must receive independent legal advice from separate Australian-qualified lawyers, and the agreement must comply with the Family Law Act 1975. myBFA builds both requirements in: two independent lawyers are included, and every agreement is drafted, advised on and signed in a way that holds up.
What does it cost?
One flat fee for the whole agreement, with both lawyers included, and you see the full price before you commit to anything. There is nothing to pay to sign up and start the questionnaire.
What if my partner is not sure yet?
You can sign up and start on your own. Your partner is invited when you are ready, and nothing is binding until both of you have had your own legal advice and signed. Many couples find the questionnaire itself is a good way to have the conversation.
