Services and offer on divorce law
Marital assets with substance: real estate, shareholdings, foundations
When it comes to the division of assets, this often involves not only traditional investments but also much more complex structures in the case of higher income and wealth levels. Holding companies at home and abroad, investment models, family foundations or international trusts can play a central role in asset management and should be taken into account in the course of a fair division procedure. In such constellations, the question often arises in the course of divorce or subsequent division proceedings as to whether assets were "hidden" or shifted in good time in order to reduce the claims of the other spouse. A precise legal and economic analysis is required here in order to create clarity and transparency. The associated legal issues not only concern family law, but also touch on company law in particular, Foundation law and Real Estate .
Areas of law in interaction: family law, corporate law, tax law
The successful enforcement or defense of distribution claims requires comprehensive expertise in several areas of law. In addition to in-depth knowledge of family law, knowledge of company and foundation law, Real Estate law and, in cross-border matters, private international law is indispensable. Equally crucial are the tax consequences of asset distribution - from company valuation and real estate taxation to cross-border tax issues.
