Divorcing? Need to Protect an Inheritance?
During a divorce, inheritances are treated much differently than other property. While other property is typically subject to the rules of equitable distribution, inherited money, real estate and other property are not. In theory, the law allows you to protect your inheritance from the divorce process.
I am here to see that theory put into practice. This can be a challenge. If your inheritance took place years prior to your divorce, it is possible that your inherited assets have not remained separate from the rest of your assets. Rather what would otherwise be a non-marital asset, has been comingled with marital assets.
The Importance of Experts in Complex Cases
When you enlist me as your attorney, I will carefully analyze your marital and non marital assets. An inheritance is part of your family's legacy that has been passed down to you. You have every right to expect to keep it. While inheritances are handled uniquely when it comes to the property division aspect of divorce, they may play into determining alimony payments. You can be certain that I will be by your side, working hard to pursue results that are fair.
