Property classification refers to determining whether an asset should be considered separate property, meaning it is not subject to property division, or whether it should be considered community property and divided accordingly. This can get complex, because a house may have been paid for with savings that were separate property initially, but then both spouses paid on it throughout the marriage. These are challenges we are prepared to handle.
Once property is classified appropriately, it needs to be valued. You can count on us to help you get accurate values for standard items, such as houses and cars. We can also see that businesses are valued appropriately. We frequently value unique collections, including antiques, coins, toys and art. You can be certain that everything in the estate will be valued appropriately.
Bringing in Experts When Necessary
Retaining experts can add cost to the divorce process. Our experience means that we do not typically need to bring in experts to address the matter of property classification. However, we believe that the cost of experts can pay off when it comes to getting an accurate value of property. We will turn to forensic accountants, real property appraisers and other experts in property valuation when necessary.
