resources for mediators

Free, and not a pitch. Use them with your own clients whether or not they ever come near this tool.

Full & Frank Disclosure — party pack

Word document · five pages · one per party · send it out before the day

Each party fills one in before they come in: their details, the children, the Court's questions about other cases and orders, and a full ledger of what they own and owe. It closes with a declaration they sign. The last page is theirs to keep — what each of them contributed, and what each will need afterwards.

Unbranded on purpose. Blank block at the top of each page for your logo, and a Word file rather than a PDF so you can brand it, translate it, and hand it out as your own.

Financial Settlement Workbook

Web page · nothing to download · nothing leaves your computer

Open it on the screen in the room. Enter what they own and owe and the split they agree on, and it solves the share of the sale money that lands on it — and the balancing payment where the sale alone cannot get there.

Two things print, neither carrying our name: who gets what, and a Heads of Agreement in plain English.

Two flyers for the couple

PDF · one page each · print and hand over

For the end of the day, when they have an agreement and no idea what to do with it. Take whichever fits.

You agreed. Now make it official. — for a couple who settled through your own process. Why an agreement binds neither of them until a court seals orders, what the tool does, and what it refuses to do.

Your mediator gave you a file. — for a couple whose matter you ran through the workbook. Five steps: find the .mediation file, open it at thelaststep.com.au, load it, fill in what is left, sign and file.
