Helping You Find A Solution For Legal Division Of Property
With decades of combined experience in both Texas family law and business law, we offer a unique, well-rounded approach to property division. Many times, property use may not be completely spelled out in a contract or business agreement, or in the case of a marriage, assets may have been comingled to the point where ownership is quite tangled. With our close attention to detail and resources like forensic accountants, we unravel these knots to determine what is fairly yours.
We start by properly categorizing assets, real property, and money as separate, shared, or business assets. Any jointly held property may be considered for division, but once we determine what is squarely yours, we take it off the table. Then, we value the property, with an eye toward any depreciation, before beginning negotiations.
Our attorneys advise you on a “good, better, best” outcome for dividing property and help you focus on what matters most to you. For example, in a divorce, you may want to keep the family home but be willing to let go of certain investments. Or, in a business, you may have a vested interest in its intellectual property, especially if you were the sole or primary creator. We get to know you and what is most important to you, then work toward a solution to achieve your goals.
