A Lawyer Simplifying Complex Property Division

Dividing property in a divorce tends to be time-consuming, logistically complex and contentious. This is true for even modest marital estates. But as you can imagine, things become increasingly complex for couples with a high net worth. These types of cases require the help of a skilled family law attorney. If you’re looking for such an attorney in the Seattle area, look no further than Zundel Law Offices, PLLC.

What Makes High Net Worth Property Division Different

Assets like houses, businesses, stock options and retirement funds are not easily separated. To make things even more complicated, Washington is a community property state. Generally speaking, this means that all assets acquired during the marriage are equally owned by both spouses, regardless of who acquired them.

Depending on the asset, an equal split is not desirable or even possible. If you own a business, for instance, and your spouse plays no role in operations, he or she may still have a 50% stake in the enterprise. Dividing the business in divorce could effectively ruin the company. The way to preserve it, therefore, is to negotiate and trade for other assets equal to your spouse’s financial stake.
