Property Valuation during Divorce
During the divorce process, community property must be characterized and then a value placed on those assets.
Valuing pension and 401K assets is generally a straightforward process, although issues can arise such as post-marital contributions. Valuing intellectual property and other assets can become extremely complex. Real property, wholly-owned businesses and partnerships — each class of property presents unique valuation challenges.
My property division experience encompasses a wide range of asset types. I approach every case systematically, focusing my energy on the most problematic and significant classes of property. With those types of assets, I utilize my years of experience and knowledge of California community property law.
When it can help my client's position, I also call upon an extensive network of business valuation specialists, real estate appraisers and other professionals who can provide their own insight and expertise. The valuations produced by these experts can be used to support my client's case as well as refute valuations produced by the other side.
My goal in every case is to place my client in the best financial position possible after the completion of the divorce process.
