Protecting Your Financial Interests
High-asset divorces are complicated for numerous reasons. When the community (marital) property includes complex financial holdings such as a business, retirement plans and investments, you need a divorce attorney who understands issues such as tax liability and business valuation.
The Law Offices of Karlstrom & Krebs has been providing divorce representation to people in California for more than 25 years. We have the experience to handle complex property division for high net worth individuals, including the valuation and division of businesses. To arrange a free consultation with a Livermore business valuation lawyer, please call 925-344-5106 today.
Concerns of Complex Business Holdings
To assist us with accurate valuation, we work with business appraisers, forensic CPAs and additional financial experts to calculate the following:
- Fair market value
- Appreciation
- Value of the property and the equipment
- Tax consequences of division
We can also assess whether the goodwill of the business is community property or separate property.
Dividing a business in a community property state is a complex matter. Issues such as who owns the business assets acquired during the marriage are rarely black and white. You need an attorney with the experience to protect your interests during division of the business and its related assets, whether they include:
- Businesses and partnerships
- Professional practices
- Privately and publicly held companies
- Stock options and portfolios
- Benefit plans
- Investment and retirement plans
When sophisticated business assets are at stake, make sure your divorce attorney understands all of the issues involved. We will work hard to negotiate a property settlement that benefits you; if negotiations are not sufficient, however, you can rely on our skills as litigators.
