Prudent and Proficient Divorce Strategy for Proper Asset Division
Asset division is a crucial factor in a high net worth divorce where the individuals or couple own:
- Inherited property
- Vacation or investment real estate
- Diversified investment portfolios
- Multiple retirement accounts
- Personal property of high value such as artwork, jewelry and multiple cars
- International investments
- Intellectual property
- Club memberships
- Professional practices
- Family businesses or franchises
I will ensure that all assets are located, correctly categorized, inventoried, valued and divided fairly. Through my local connections, I routinely work in sync with financial and business valuation specialists to resolve any issues that may arise.
For example, a forensic accountant may be needed to examine tax returns or business records to ensure that all income has been reported accurately. Appraisers of real estate, jewelry, collections, or other tangible property, or certified public accountants may need to be consulted. My experience handling real estate and business law matters since starting to practice law in 1990 can also help inform how we proceed.
Since I have lived and worked in the South Metro Atlanta area my whole life, I have built up a substantial network of professionals in these fields. I am very familiar with managing a team of experts to ensure all aspects of the divorce are dealt with appropriately and that you are in a strong position for negotiation or, if necessary, litigation. I also receive many referrals from other attorneys who have clients who require this level of skill, experience and local connection.
If you executed a prenuptial agreement before your marriage, this can have a major impact on property division. I will make sure we carefully scrutinize the document's terms and enforceability and present legal arguments to protect your rights should the court be asked to set the agreement aside or enforce it.
The Importance of Tax Valuation in High Asset Divorce Actions
As I work with you to ensure your assets are correctly valued and fairly distributed, I will also tax value every asset, which can have a dramatic impact on the ultimate value of any equitable distribution settlement. The allocation of debt can have important consequences and must be done fairly.
I can also assist with related issues, such as providing tax experts to amend prior tax returns when a former spouse is suspected of tax fraud, or challenging a spouse's personal bankruptcy if it appears to be undertaken to gain advantage during the division of marital assets and debt. Likewise, I will make sure that all debt is divided fairly.
In certain situations, bankruptcy may be a viable option to helping alleviate or obtain some relief. I can help counsel you about what steps should be taken to help you achieve a fresh start in every sense.
