Overseas Assets May Be Marital Property

Married couples with high net worth can often store money in overseas accounts or have a stake in offshore businesses as a tax shelter. Sometimes, one spouse may have brought the assets into the marriage and wishes to maintain them as separate property. In other situations, the spouse who controls the financial dealings in the marriage may hide assets from the other spouse. In the event of a divorce, it is required by law to disclose all assets for characterization as either separate property or marital property. The primary concern for the other spouse is knowing where to uncover the overseas asset and extract it for characterization and equitable distribution. If you are fighting to protect your financial interests in a divorce, will your lawyer have the skill and experience to handle issues related to overseas accounts? At Stange Law Firm, PC, we can help you with your high-asset divorce. We have the resources and knowledge to determine the full and appreciated value of the overseas investment and investigate the extent the property should be characterized as separate or marital property. We rely on my own extensive experience, as well as the experience and specialized knowledge of independent professionals, including business valuation experts, forensic accountants, and professionals with skills in all areas of international bank accounts and foreign investments.
