What counts as marital property?
Assets acquired during the marital community generally belong here, but inheritance, gifts, separate property and value-increasing investments require individual legal assessment.
Division of marital assets
Clear settlement of marital property with a strategic legal approach
Besides the legal end of a marriage, asset division is often the most demanding practical issue. Real estate, loans, savings, business interests and family support all require careful legal assessment.
I help organise the financial picture, identify evidentiary issues and prepare a settlement that can provide a stable long-term closure.
Typical questions in asset division
- Real estate: ownership shares, use, buy-out or sale.
- Loans and debts: clarifying how obligations are borne between the parties.
- Separate and joint property: inheritance, gifts, premarital assets and family support.
- Business assets: company shares, business interests and income from entrepreneurship.
- Settlement or litigation: preparing agreements or providing court representation when needed.

Why prepare asset division with an attorney?
An imprecise asset division agreement can create disputes years later. A carefully drafted agreement and advance review of evidence and cost implications reduce future risk.
