Sophisticated Real Estate and Investment Properties

Complex domestic and international real estate portfolios can include primary residences, vacation homes, and investment properties. We are well-versed in handling divorce proceedings involving commercial properties, residential complexes, land developments, etc. These holdings often involve joint ventures and various management structures that must be considered when evaluating property division issues. Valuing these properties requires a thorough understanding of real estate markets, tax implications, and other matters to ensure accurate and fair characterization and division.

Tax Considerations for Intricate Financial Structures

An additional layer in navigating high-value assets and investments includes a deep understanding of various legal and financial instruments designed for tax planning. Irrevocable trusts, charitable trusts, family-limited partnerships, and other instruments each have their own rules and benefits, which must be considered to preserve those benefits and value. We take into account all tax consequences and implications involved in asset division, including capital gains taxes, transfer taxes, and other taxes associated with spousal support and child support.
