High Net Worth Estate & Property Division

High net worth estates typically involve complex financial circumstances, and in some cases, the marital estate and property do not have to be equally divided, but rather, divided in a manner that is fair in consideration of the parties’ personal circumstances. Dividing these larger estates requires properly evaluating the parties’ assets, liabilities, employee benefit and retirement plans, and determining whether the property is marital or non-marital. When dividing assets, it is important to calculate the tax consequence associated with the allocation of property. Margaret Bennett is highly skilled in comprehensive financial analysis and discovering assets and how such property should be divided to maximize her client’s present and future financial interests. Ms. Bennett has brought in experts and/or consultants on cases when needed such as Certified Public Accountants, Appraisers, Business Valuators, Forensic Analysts, Investigators, and vocational lifestyle experts, to ensure our client’s best interests are protected.
