SERVICES
Divorce
Being aware that it is a painful process we are committed to providing a correctly negotiated and settled divorce, achieving the best possible outcome for families.
The law firstly requires a separation period of 12 months amongst other things. Separation can be considered even if parties are living within the same household. Sojong can assist in providing evidence and having this aspect accepted by the court. Furthermore, we assist clients in all associated aspects with divorce, including advice on requirements and application.
Property Division/Agreements and litigation regarding Division of Assets
As the collapse of a marriage relationship includes the distribution of property acquired and shared during the relationship, Sojong is prepared to carefully indentify and valuate the property, with the aim of a fair and reasonable outcome in mind.
Although private settlement is recommended, we assist our clients if they wish to move forward into other resolution processes if necessary.
Inheritance Planning
Sojong offers you individual advice on all issues relating to the transfer of assets to the next generation. We can help you to draw up the relevant documents and write your will, ensuring that your estate is distributed in accordance with your wishes.
Will Preparation
This inexpensive legal process is a critical part of an adult life. As your circumstances may change as rapidly as overnight, it is vital that your loved ones are protected. Sojong can provide assistance in drafting wills with clear, unambiguous terms, so that your estate and assets are distributed exactly as you wish.
Execution of a Will
The duty of a solicitor does not end with the drafting of a will, but extends to specific requirements which may be prone to mistakes. The requirements must be properly observed and the will should be inspected. At Sojong, we take great regard to these duties requiring detail, to prevent any negligent execution.
