CONFIDENCE THROUGH EXPERIENCE
Property Division and Business Valuation
Fiction: “My spouse has a small business, it has no value.”
Fact: Most businesses, even small businesses, have a “goodwill” component which can be valued in addition to the inventory.
When a Business is Part of the Marital Property
If you or your spouse own a business, it must be included in the property division settlement. To do this, we must work closely with forensic accountants and other financial experts to conduct a thorough business valuation.
Complex Marital Property Division
There are many different ways to divide a complex marital estate. The first step is identifying the assets and determining the value for each asset. The next step is understanding the tax consequences related to the division of each asset, including:
- Real estate (residential and commercial)
- Foreign real estate
- Automobiles
- Furniture, jewelry and major appliances
- Stock options
- IRAs, 401(k)s and pensions
- Businesses
