Translate a Divorce Financial Settlement Into a Step-by-Step Action List
The settlement is signed, but it reads like a legal document, not a to-do list. This pulls out every action it actually requires, in the order they need to happen, with realistic timeframes and a clear line between hard legal deadlines and things you can schedule around, plus what to flag back to your solicitor.

**Translate** the settlement into a step-by-step action list:
1. List every action the settlement actually requires, such as transfers, name changes, pension sharing, or mortgage refinancing, in the order they need to happen
2. Attach a realistic timeframe to each action
3. Flag which actions carry a hard legal deadline versus which are soft and can be scheduled flexibly
4. Note anything in the document that is ambiguous and should be checked with the solicitor

<output_format>
- A numbered action list with attached deadlines
