Understanding How Overseas Assets Are Treated in Dissolution Matters
High-net-worth couples often keep money in foreign bank accounts, overseas investments, or international business ventures. These assets make splitting things up tricky, especially when figuring out what they’re worth and how to divide them fairly. Sorting through this kind of complex financial puzzle feels like piecing together a globe-spanning jigsaw with some pieces hiding in plain sight. People dealing with these situations stand to gain big by understanding the challenges and secrets behind valuing and dividing wealth across borders. Keep reading to uncover why this matters and how to handle it without getting lost in the paperwork maze.
In some cases, one spouse may have entered the marriage already owning offshore assets and now seeks to keep them as separate property. In other cases, a spouse may suspect that overseas accounts are being used to hide marital assets. Regardless of the situation, all property, domestic or foreign, must be disclosed during dissolution proceedings so it can be properly classified as either marital or separate property.
The main challenge often lies in locating and valuing these international holdings to ensure an equitable distribution under the law.
