Aussie Bob
I dislike the insurance industry intensely. Insurance is my business single biggest cost. I'm looking to move the major elements of it offshore because Australia is expensive. However, my experience is that the system is merciless. And its not just the value of the house, its your superfund, life insurance and every other asset. Not to mention the stress your wife would suffer trying to deal with it. And frankly, the lawyer may be an experienced one doing it on a contingency basis who doesn't care that his fee will be larger than the money that flows to the client.
